ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The administration's drive to fix our ailing health-care system has taken a sharp turn for the worse in recent months. The momentum the president had built with his stirring speech to Congress last September about the importance of securing universal access at affordable prices to a basic package of health care has been frittered away

Strange as it may seem, an institution that most people presume had gone the way of the flivver, the flapper and Fatty Arbuckle may be revived as one solution to the problem of how best to care for children who are abused, neglected or abandoned by their parents

While the need for safe environments for abused children is growing exponentially, the number of families volunteering as foster parents has dropped precipitously during the past five years. And many judges, social workers and child agency workers are less than thrilled with some of the families who do apply to be foster parents. Some are motivated by nothing more than the prospect of earning the few extra bucks they can earn for being a foster parent

How was it that [Roger Poisson], who contributed results on 15 percent of the subjects in the breast cancer study, was able to keep his deceit going for so many years without being detected?

Depo-Provera is a contraceptive for women that is taken by injection. A single shot prevents conception for about three months. Depo, which is made by Upjohn, the huge Michigan-based pharmaceutical company, has been in use in many nations for years

[CLINTON] did not have to come all the way here to convince us yokels that he does not intend to jail any doctor who sees patients for a fee, that the ads put on TV by the health insurance association represent the purest forms of fear-mongering since Willie Horton's image graced our screens, or that it is nothing more than raw politics which would lead critics to label as socialist a plan which turns to large health insurance companies to enfranchise those now lacking the right to health care
