...Committee's working framework for a health plan, which Obama's speech seemed most to mimic, there is the line, "No illegal immigrants will benefit from the health care tax credits." Similarly, the major health-care-reform bill to pass out of committee in the House, H.R. 3200, contains Section 246, which is called "NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS."

...miles I've walked in the spectacular landscapes of the American Southwest, one of the most memorable was a stroll over a stretch of desert scrub with a scruffy, playful, sweet-as-can-be black-and-white dog named Harley. We met at Dogtown, a section of the nonprofit Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, www.bestfriends. org, outside the Utah town of Kanab. Harley, like many of the approximately 500 dogs at Best Friends - and many of the pigs, horses, birds, rabbits, mules and other animals who live there - was abandoned by his owners.
