Perhaps you will be interested to know that Theresa Nanziri, whose brutal murder you describe in "Amin's Horror Chamber" [April 30], was one of the leaders of the training staff for Peace Corps Uganda.

...number of hospitals are already making efforts to keep a sharper eye on costs. At California's Long Beach Community Hospital, staff doctors meet at least four times a year for what they call "economic rounds," studying patients' bills to make sure they are not padded. At one such meeting a few weeks ago, a slide of a bill was projected on a screen.
