...insurance, whether they be individuals or businesses, an option of plans to choose from, all of them offering at least a minimum package of benefits and a guarantee against exclusion for pre-existing health conditions. White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel has even gone so far as to suggest that a public plan might be necessary only as a backup, if that new system failed to produce the kind of competition that is necessary to bring down health-care costs.

What does research suggest about the link between unstructured playtime and creativity later in life? There's a little bit of evidence that adults who are novelists or musicians, for example, tend to remember the imaginary friends they had when they were children. It's as if they are staying in touch with those childhood abilities in a way that most of us don't.

...someone came to you with only a basic knowledge of cheese and they wanted to try something new, what would you suggest?

Crist also raked in a state-record $4.3 million in the second quarter, swamping Rubio's $340,000; the media are speculating that...
...Rubio insists he won't drop out, and those daunting polls suggest that the relatively few Republicans who know Rubio are quite likely to vote Rubio. Over the next 14 months, as Rubio introduces himself to the state, this race is likely to evolve from David and Goliath into a struggle for the party's soul, with a moderate populist who celebrated the stimulus with Obama at a Fort Myers rally and a conservative stalwart who opposes almost everything Obama has done.
