...fall allergy season brings a new headache this year. Starting this week, allergy sufferers who want to treat their stuffy noses with pseudoephedrine (an active ingredient in Sudafed and similar over-the-counter remedies) will have to go to a pharmacist or salesclerk, show photo identification and sign a logbook recording their name and street address.

Attracting and keeping older workers take some creativity. John Johns, 65, recently tried to retire from his job as a CVS pharmacist in Sea Isle City, N.J., so he and his wife Patricia could spend winters in Cocoa Beach, Fla. CVS persuaded him to keep working--by creating seasonal jobs for him in both locations. He enjoys the work, and the health plan covers his wife, who is not yet eligible for Medicare. "At this point in my life, I want to have more freedom, and they've accommodated...
