More than 80% of American adults agree with Gardner, a new report shows. Another two-thirds support laws similar to Oregon's, which give people the "right to die" through physician-assisted suicide, according to the survey of 1,070 Americans released May 15 by ELDR Magazine, a publication aimed at senior citizens. More than 80% of respondents also said that, if terminally ill and in pain, they would want to be made unconscious even if it hastened death. "A painful or prolonged death is something everyone worries about," said Dave Bunnell, ELDR's editor...
...number of American physicians offering boutique medical services remains low - in a 2005 survey of 4,200 primary care doctors led by Brooks, only 16.5% of respondents said they had ever even used e-mail with their patients, and only 2.9% used it frequently.

That is the work you get in "Robert Rauschenberg: Combines," a sumptuous, witty survey that continues through April 2 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and then moves to Los Angeles, Paris and Stockholm.

Waters, who advised the Census Bureau on multiracial demography for its 1990 and 2000 surveys. Williams’s first book, “Mark One or More: Civil Rights in Multiracial America,” published in 2006, examines one of the key decisions that Waters advised—when the 2000 Census allowed respondents to identify as multiple races for the first time...
...turns out the lowest approval ratings in Cambridge don’t belong to George W. Bush. Instead, that honor goes to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) e-mail client, Webmail. In a recent survey, only two percent of undergraduates stated that they were very satisfied with Webmail, compared with 23 percent who reported being very dissatisfied. This widespread discontent has triggered a mass exodus from the Webmail interface to other clients, in particular Google’s free and convenient service, Gmail. In 2008, 58 percent of Harvard undergraduates used Gmail as their primary email client...
