The most crucial necessity in medical care is to begin making the needed information available to patients, referring doctors, medical advisers, the general public... Just as in every other walk of life -- let me repeat that -- just as in every other walk of life, a lack of publicly available information, sometimes because of deliberate secrecy, leads to bad results.

..Nothing could be further from the truth than the claim that, because he is Commander-in-Chief, Bush has the legal right to ignore a bill cutting off funds. In fact, the claim is viciously ironic. Ever since the earliest days of Viet Nam, we have been hearing that the way Congress can control Presidential warmaking, if it does not like what the President is doing, is to cut off funds. But now we hear, completely to the contrary, that such a cut off is of no legal consequence? And we hear it, yet, from legislators who claim they want to put an end to the war? Oh, boy....

Robert S. Dotson, M.D. writes to Velvel to say that his writings have "a tendency to belittle the intellectual capacities of those who live South of the Mason-Dixon line and to paint the entire region with a broad brush which clearly displays a lack of first-hand knowledge of the region and a good bit of historical inaccuracy"...and Velvel responds!

Ford’s precedent setting pardon of Nixon showed that if you hold a high enough office, and if what you’ve done is bad enough, you can expect to get off scot free in this country.
That the truly big time miscreants inevitably get off scot free here is one of the reasons many Americans have little or no faith in our government. It is also one of the main reasons our leaders all-too-blithely take us into wars, uselessly bomb large sections of other countries to smithereens, order up torture, mess over and suppress civil rights, and so forth. There is nothing holding them back, you see. There will be no trial, no punishment, and, for that matter, not even an impeachment.

Desiring to join the "educational elite�, state universities are raising tuition and lessening the amount of aid available to those who can’t afford their new and higher prices- an ever growing percentage of our population which now includes not only minorities and the poor, but often the lower middle class and middle class as well.
