...increase the term bill fees because students aren't going to want it. Doing it through alumni would be more painless," Vaina said. "We're just sort of impoverished even though we're Harvard...
...Moscow reported that Boris Yeltsin was undergoing a normal follow-up to his 1996 heart-bypass surgery. In fact, he underwent a sophisticated new heart scan called a C.T.-angiography, a painless, noninvasive test that is less risky than a conventional angiogram and that can be performed only with a scanner created by Imatron, a San Francisco-based company.

A Gallup Poll conducted last April found that 75 percent of Americans believe that doctors should be allowed to end the lives of terminally ill patients by painless means if the patient requests it. Two appeals cases on this issue made it to the U.S. Supreme Court this summer; the Court ruled that there was not a constitutional right to receive physician aid-in-dying, thus effectively turning the issue over to state legislatures for further discussion...
