...Democrats, health care has long been a merciless minefield. Hillary Clinton's disastrous effort to transform the system in her husband's first term nearly cost him the presidency. After that, politicians pretty much stopped talking about the subject except to offer marginal and politically unassailable fixes, like covering more children or requiring insurance companies to accept people with pre-existing health conditions...
...publication of Erh's self-funded new book Shanghai Art Deco is testament to the 47-year-old photographer's determination in the face of the city's merciless wrecking ball. In 320 pages and over 1,000 photographs, Erh and other photographers capture many of the city's surviving historic residences, hotels, cinemas and municipal buildings-creating a sweeping survey of the architectural and cultural treasures that could be threatened by relentless development.

It’s an atypical pulled punch on an otherwise merciless record. It’s been a banner year for rap. With only December left, 2006 still has yet to see releases from Young Jeezy, Nas, and Ghostface Killa. It’s a congested scene these days, so you can understand Clipse’s apprehension...
