...what about that glorious score? Well, this time around, it doesn't sound all that glorious. I count 28 musicians listed in the program, but the orchestra sounded both undermanned and overmiked, sometimes drowning out the singers; in a couple of the early numbers, I couldn't be entirely certain they were working from the same sheet music. What's more - a heresy to even suggest - I wonder if this score really belongs in the very top rank of American musicals. The jazzy, modernist, Gershwinesque rhythms of some of Bernstein's music - "The Jet Song," "America" - are still striking...
...unpaid medical bills each year. Thus, when providers negotiate contracts with HMOs, for instance, they try to recoup some of those losses by raising prices for insured patients, which in turn leads to higher premiums. Because insurance markets are state-by-state entities with disparate regulations, residents of certain states - such as Montana, West Virginia and Texas - pay a higher hidden tax than others. "A hospital seeks out dollar figures when it can," says report author Peter Harbage, a health-care analyst...
...legislating an expansion of health coverage may not be a cure-all to high premiums. One way the Obama Administration and certain Democrats in Congress have suggested to pay for an overhaul of the health-care system is by taxing employer-provided health benefits, which some government officials estimate could provide up to $200 billion in additional tax revenues for national health care. Meanwhile, a second report released March 24, by the nonpartisan Economic Policy Institute (EPI) think tank, shows that implementing such a tax may actually increase the ranks of the uninsured and raise premiums for people with coverage...
...that it would be fair to guess that it has less than a 50/50 chance of succeeding. The toxic assets that may be bought from financial company balance sheets are only a part of the problem that banks face. Consumer, commercial real estate, and business loan defaults are almost certain to undermine money center results for the rest of this year...
...least one of the brothers took part in the crime, but it has not been possible to determine which one." Identical twins share 99.99% of their genetic information, and the tiny differences are impossible to isolate because of their nature; they tend to be spontaneous mutations limited to certain organs or tissues. "Identifying those [differences] would amount to dissecting the suspects," says Peter M. Schneider, a University of Cologne forensic expert. "Our hands are tied in a case like this," says criminal-law expert Hans-Ullrich Paeffgen of Bonn University. "The law doesn't allow us to detain someone indefinitely...
