...course, you can plan your retirement to the last detail, but it won't be any fun at all if you're not flexible. New needs can arise, old habits can be broken, and a relationship can evolve. For many couples, these years are what you've spent the rest of your lives working toward. And after all that planning and hard work, your first priority should be to enjoy...
There are competing ideas about how to cover the uninsured. Most congressional Democrats favor the Clinton plan, which would create a new Medicare benefit for prescription drugs, to be called Medicare Part D. For about $24 a month, those who choose the plan would have no deductible, but they would pay for half of their prescription drug costs, up to $5,000. Single seniors making $11,000 or less and senior couples making less than $17,000 would be spared the co-payment cost...
Congressional Republicans have yet to coalesce around a single plan, but most G.O.P. measures are likely to be built around a bipartisan Senate bill, sponsored by Democrat John Breaux and Republican Bill Frist. Just last week the pharmaceuticals lobby in Washington announced its tentative support for the Breaux-Frist approach, which would compel insurance companies to provide a "high-option" plan with drug benefits and then help cover the cost of that insurance for the poor and near poor.

After that, what can be objectionable about the too-cute-to-live Pokemon named Jigglypuff, a ball of fluff whose greatest power--not to be scoffed at--is a stupefying lullaby...
...bound to be hundreds more in the future, each promising the reward of thinness and health as long as one stays on "the diet" forever, an almost certain impossibility. For this reason diet truly is a four-letter word. There is not one sole miracle cure, book or meal plan for proper nutrition and health; there are hundreds of solutions depending on the health goals one is trying to achieve. Consumers should consider consulting a registered dietitian for help in customizing their nutrition therapy. JULIA J. SHEERIN, R.D. Traverse City, Mich...
