...violate store policy. Longs has reprimanded the pharmacist. Says spokesman Clay Seland: "Our policy is that a pharmacist, if he has moral objections, should refer the prescription to another on-duty pharmacist, or to another Longs, or to a competing pharmacy, if necessary." Collisions between beliefs and access to medication will increase as controversial new drugs surface and unconventional uses for old ones increase--such as those used in physician-assisted suicide. A recent survey of 625 pharmacists showed that 82% of them believe they have the right to refuse to fill a prescription for a drug such...

...same time, they made an $80,000 donation to Engler's Michigan G.O.P.--and none to their home-state Democratic Party. Though Interior nixed their casino bid, the department is still weighing their request to add hundreds of tax-free acres to their sovereign territory. Tribal spokesman John Hatch said the money wasn't intended to influence policy: "We're proud that we're able to help those who help...
