This may be one of the cases in which the cure is worse than the disease. Aside from the obvious problem no combination, no tinkle--a myriad of other inconveniences come to mind. For instance, it generally takes two hands to open a door combination lock-better make sure that towel is tied tightly around your waist. And what happens if another massive first-year food poisoning epidemic strikes Harvard? The potential chaos is inconceivable. So, in the public interest, we would like to suggest alternate solutions...
Enforcing these rules on the insurance companies will not be easy, either. After all, you are asking them to take customers they are statistically certain to lose money on. There are myriad subtle and unsubtle ways the companies can attract the good risks and shun the bad ones. The Kassebaum-Kennedy bill contains detailed rules about, for example, when insurance companies will be permitted to go out of business. That's just one taste of the complexities ahead...

Carbon compounds literally litter the cosmos, drifting through interstellar space in giant molecular clouds and making up a significant percentage, by mass, of comets and asteroids. Some scientists are convinced that the basic building blocks...
