...MEDICAL MIGRAINE No matter whether you are running a business, toiling in an office or looking for a job, you are probably feeling the health-care sting. Workers notice it in the form of higher payroll deductions and larger co-pays for prescription drugs. HMOs, which typically used to cover hospital stays in full, are adding deductibles of about $240 a visit...
...strange, like magazines and news organizations compiling obituary pieces for my father in 1994 after he wrote his now-famous letter to the country saying he had Alzheimer?s.

Usually, though, they are bogged down with repetitive and maudlin lyrics. Mary J. Blige lends her soul credibility in “Whenever I Say Your Name” for some of the album’s brighter moments. But ultimately, the song falls flat with its swarmy, sugar-coated chorus and failed attempt at manufactured gospel. The opening track, “Inside,” prepares...
