...Americans get from their doctors each year. Tullman, CEO of the electronic health records company Allscripts, would like to whittle that number to zero. Prescription errors, he points out, injure 1.5 million and kill 7,000 patients annually--and most mistakes could be avoided if scripts were written electronically. "Seven thousand deaths is the equivalent of one Boeing 737 crashing every week for a year," he says. "If one of them crashes, there's an investigation and a public outcry." In January, Allscripts teamed with Dell and a host of technology, insurance and health-care firms to launch the National...
...Catholic (and increasingly Evangelical) cultural context of Latin America. Abortion is simply one issue on which many leftists feel they'd rather not waste political capital by butting heads with the Church. What's more, with the exception of Bachelet, the region's leftist heads of state (who won seven of 11 presidential elections last year) are all men and hardly immune to the machismo that tends to relegate women's issues to the sidelines in Latin America...

As President (so Republicans tell it), he got the economy going again, restored American confidence and won the cold war. As a Republican, he both sharpened the party's message and broadened its appeal. He won two landslide elections and then...
With the bunker's heavy metal lid dragged to one side, dank musty air rose up from the entrance, the forbidding gloom of the narrow steel-lined shaft below unbroken by the bright sunlight. It had taken seven months of searching to finally discover one of the underground bunkers that had enabled Hizballah to fire thousands of rockets into northern Israel last summer even under the pounding of Israeli air and ground operations. But any sense of exhilaration at the achievement was dampened by the nagging anxiety of claustrophobia...
