...takes far more time and in too many ways is just not as good. We're never quite sure that what we've typed is going to be seen by a real, live, analog nurse, that it isn't just going to disappear. (It does.) We can't order certain things with those buttons and pull-down menus that we could in writing - things like "patient may wear her own flannel nightgown and underwear" or "please, please get the x-ray I ordered for yesterday", or "prop up patient's legs with pillows like this" followed by a little stick...
Finally, the political debate also revolves around using information technology to figure out which treatments are most effective. This seems eminently sensible: might certain heart patients, for example, do just as well with clot-busting drugs as with more expensive angioplasty procedures? The drug route could save about $7000 a patient Crunching huge amounts of data from a wide cross section of patients could help us do better research than we are doing now. But what will happen when the new computerized research turns up a treatment that works a little better but costs much more? Will they tell...
...peace signs still hang on the gate. An 18-ft. (5 m) steel sculpture, Freedom's Angel of Steadfast Love--a gift to the town from a Pennsylvania artist to commemorate 9/11--stands in an empty lot where pro-Bush supporters gathered.

Don't we need to exempt them from prosecution for being idiots and to find some better way to punish conduct that we didn't manage to prevent...
...real time. By having Internet users report problems as they occur, Herdict overcomes that issue, he said. Inaccessibility can also come from more innocuous sources than government censorship, said Jillian C. York, a Herdict project coordinator affiliated with the Berkman Center. Workplaces and schools frequently restrict access to certain sites via filters, she said, which might explain why the United States currently leads in documented cases of restricted web access. Certain Web sites also restrict access or content to certain parts of the world, increasing the number of catalogued occurrences of inaccessibility, Zittrain said. YouTube, for example, restricts access...
