...with the type of extraordinary negotiations Sadako Ogata undertook during her tenure at the United Nations. Her skilled negotiations on behalf of refugees saved many lives, yet are less well understood than many higher profile diplomatic efforts.” Prior to receiving the award, Ogata spoke at a panel discussion and stressed the important role first-hand knowledge plays in innovation. “All breakthrough ideas come from being involved,” she said. She cautioned against taking an excessively cerebral approach to problem-solving. “I used to be a scholar...

The Second Circuit found no "cognizable" right to die in the Constitution, but ruled the current state of affairs unfair under the Equal Protection clause. If someone on life support can have a doctor kill him or her (by pulling a plug), the court reasoned, why deny the service to a terminally ill patient not attached to a machine? The high court will review the two cases together...
