...only way to describe this philosophy is, "If it feels good, do it." Isn't that the very notion that Bush ran against? The President is not merely reversing a decade of sane fiscal management begun by his father and continued by the very odd couple of Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton, but is racking up the next generation's debt in a way unmatched even by his hero Ronald Reagan. After all, Reagan also oversaw tax cuts and a big increase in military spending during a recession, and he bequeathed huge deficits as a result. But at least...
...just joined the board of Dixons, a British tech retailer whose stable of brands includes its flagship online store and the magazine PC World. Information overload may make branding more important than ever. "People are going to edit out some of what they receive, just to stay sane," she says. "Branding is potentially a very good navigator." And that's great news for brand Clifton...
...best little emperors they can; doctor-aided euthanasia is not uncommon when children are born with birth defects. Infanticide is just one of the many ethical compromises forced upon China's doctors by an authoritarian government.

Only one, 71-year-old military doctor Jiang Yanyong, went public with damning information. His colleagues, meanwhile, abetted a scheme to hide SARS patients...
...cannot perform rape kits on campus because only specialized “Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner” (SANE) nurses have the experience and training to perform rape kits that would be admissible in judicial settings. These nurses are on-call at specific hospitals in Boston who have requested their presence, demonstrated an adequate volume of occurrences and worked to meet other designation requirements. Under the current system, however, only Beth Israel and five other Boston area hospitals are SANE-designated. They share the services of the 18 SANE nurses assigned to the area. But under the state of Massachusetts?...
Harvard must use its considerable clout and resources to combat this shortage of services—at least until the Commonwealth of Massachusetts starts to take sexual assault service funding seriously. The University should spearhead a consortium of Boston area schools to hire several full-time SANE nurses for the city’s higher education community. Besides benefiting students, the action would help take some of the burden off the already-understaffed statewide program. With area colleges and universities each contributing a portion of the funding, colleges can then make sure that rape kits can be performed at many...
