...leading spots of pairs are negative in the northern hemisphere during one eleven-year cycle, they are positive during the next. Even more remarkable, the overall solar magnetic field reverses near the peak of each cycle, the north and south magnetic poles trading places. This strange behavior may result from distortions in the magnetic fields caused by the sun's uneven rate of rotation; for still-unknown reasons, the equatorial regions rotate around the solar axis every 25 days, regions at higher latitudes every 33 days. This strange phenomenon is possible because the sun is a gaseous rather than...

The result is that even the occasional benefits of agency programs are generally not available to such groups as women and the elderly, who make up roughly 80% of all blind people...

Faced with the spiraling cost of its program, New Mexico this month cut off assistance to the 63,000 people on its Medicaid rolls. As a result, many elderly Medicaid recipients began an exodus from nursing homes, causing the State Department of Hospitals and Institutions to devise a "disaster plan" to find beds for the displaced. The irony of New Mexico's agony is that it was totally unnecessary. In March, State Budget Chief Waldo Anton (who has since resigned) persuaded the legislature to avoid an expected deficit by canceling Medicaid. He had been told by regional officers...
