...change in behavior comes only a few weeks after Governors from nearly a dozen states were tripping over themselves to get Dole's attention. An adviser to George Voinovich put together a 12-minute videotape touting the Ohio Governor and sent a copy of it to Dole. Governor John Engler of Michigan used his job as chairman of the Republican Governors' Association to flood Washington with press releases of his own ("RGA Chairman Governor John Engler Praises Dole for Taking On Judicial Activism"). Governor Pete Wilson of California slipped into Washington for dinners with columnists...
From then on Franklin dedicated one-tenth of his time to preaching. He preached in auditoriums and gyms, in towns like Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and New Philadelphia, Ohio.

Not many tears will be shed for Candlestick Park in San Francisco and County Stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the Kingdome in Seattle if and when those yards bite the dust...
...trying to reach these recalcitrant workers. Most, like the city of Birmingham, begin with a mandatory screening that allows them to identify who is at greatest risk of developing health problems. Many use positive incentives--the proverbial carrot--to promote healthy habits. Anthem Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Cincinnati, Ohio, for example, offers its plan participants $240 a year in extra benefits, like additional vacation days, if they get good scores on five out of seven categories of health-related behavior...
