...idea that this would engender the kind of uproar that it has," says Kentucky state Rep. Kathy Stein, a Democrat who this month became the Bluegrass State's first woman to chair the powerful House Judiciary Committee.

In community hospitals especially, with no layer of surgical-resident help to keep things organized, OR staffs rely on product reps to set up and get them through procedures smoothly. And as more and more of our nurses are immigrants from countries that don't have...
...around Baghdad. Key Democrats like Levin and Sen. Joseph Biden, who takes over the Foreign Relations Committee, adamantly oppose a force increase. Levin favors a phased withdrawal of U.S. soldiers, much like the recommendation of the Iraq Study Group that former Secretary of State James Baker and former Indiana Rep. Lee Hamilton chaired...
