...they attacked the problem with almost heartbreaking earnestness. Beginning in 1983, they assembled doctors, businessmen and labor leaders for marathon discussions about how to distribute the state's limited resources. They built elaborate computer models to help rank medical procedures by cost effectiveness. They held 47 town meetings to thrash out the rules by which medical priorities would be set, and then followed up with a random telephone survey of 1,000 households to make sure citizens agreed with the resulting proposal. Finally, they submitted for Washington's approval an innovative plan that would have provided virtually every Oregonian with...
Taang! Records (12 Eliot St.) is a dream come true for music fans who like to thrash. This dimly lit shop, appropriately located underground, has a wide selection of local hardcore music, as well as some classic ska albums.

"Radio is now the stumbling block," says Nuumi Rayfield Jarvis, founder of the Los Angeles chapter of the Black Rock Coalition, a national network of 50 bands that organized seven years ago to promote black rock. Because it ranges from jazz fusion to thrash metal, black rock doesn't fit neatly into any of the traditional grooves that determine how music is marketed. Executives who program for traditional rock stations fret that the white teens who make up their audiences won't identify with black rockers. Black programmers argue that their listeners are turned...
