...ideal images, though, may only make people more critical when real-life care doesn't measure up. CBS's fall debut Three Rivers, set at an élite transplant center, could underscore our luck-of-the-draw access to lifesaving resources. Or it could remind viewers of the top-shelf procedures that Obama's critics say will be threatened by "socialized" solutions...

The terrain is well trod: from intelligent design to the dubious link between Saddam Hussein and 9/11, Pierce argues, prevailing political wisdom in the U.S. has been based not on fact but on who could shout loudest. The book elevates itself with original reporting, some witty asides (a Mitch Albom best seller is slammed...
