...Harvard Alumni Association announced the 17 finalists for senior class marshal yesterday, a group which will be narrowed to eight in a second round of balloting to begin today.

...military does not move in mysterious ways. It plods, it plans, it plots out every logistical detail before launching an initiative. Things take time. For example: not all of the 21,000 additional forces that President Obama authorized for Afghanistan last winter have even arrived in the country yet. For another example: the battle plan those troops were asked to execute was devised primarily by General David McKiernan, who was replaced about the time the troops started arriving.

...Public Option All four other versions of health-care-reform legislation that have emerged from the House and Senate include a government-insurance option that would compete with private plans to help keep costs down.

If Dems choose to go it alone without any Republican support, it's possible they could include such a plan in the final version of the bill. But many moderate Democrats, such as Landrieu and Nebraska...
...table and rewrote the bill to ensure not only that illegal immigrants would be prevented from receiving government subsidies to buy insurance, but that they wouldn't be able to purchase insurance on the so-called exchanges even if they could pay for it in full. The plan also tightens the rules for some legal immigrants to qualify for government subsidies on the exchange. Both points have angered Latino lawmakers, such as Representative Luis Gutierrez and Senator Bob Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, who are seeking to modify the provisions. Health-policy experts say it makes absolutely no sense...
