...Marines on board. The troops ostensibly will helpevacuate U.S. citizens, should that be needed. TIME Defense correspondent Mark Thompson adds the U.S. decision to send warships into the fray can also help the Coast Guard handle the refugee surge and underscore U.S. resolve. Indeed, the warships are sending a signal that the U.S. may be preparing for an invasion, but special envoy to Haiti, Bill Gray, denies it. parpar
...point has been Clinton's employer mandates, which would require employers to pay 80% of the cost of health insurance for all full-time workers. Fearing depressed profits and warning of layoffs, small-business lobbyists generated enough opposition to effectively kill that provision. What Moynihan then needed was a signal from Clinton that he was prepared to accept some other mechanism to bring about Clinton's goal of universal coverage...
...this were a western, such peacefulness would signal "Apaches!" Sure enough, disaster befalls. While Alice is tending her own and a neighbor's kids, the neighbor's two-year-old tumbles into a pond and is pulled out brain dead.

Almost 6% of Michigan's 6.5 million drivers lost their privileges last year; an estimated two-thirds of them keep driving anyway. More than 36,000 Texas drivers involved in accidents last year had no license. In Southern California, which leads the U.S. in hit-and-run cases, police believe many of the people who flee the scene do so because they are driving without...
