...target to shoot at. The two Democrats have offered big, detailed plans, but each has a different emphasis. Bradley's is big but not so detailed. In its main element, it would abolish Medicaid, which provides coverage for the poor, and channel them instead to enroll in the insurance program already available to federal employees. Bradley would also offer the poor tax breaks and subsidies to help pay for insurance. Gore's plan is detailed but not so big. He aims to provide every child with health care by 2005, but he proposes to do that mostly by expanding...
...next president decides to attempt it, health-care reform will be the space program of the early 21st century, a massive government undertaking, but this time with earthbound targets and no big heroes. No glamorous moon to go to, no John Glenn. All the same, in a nation where 44 million people don't have medical insurance, and where a lot of the insured aren't happy with the care they get, there are probably more people rooting for an HMO fix than were ever waiting for a lunar landing.

...Millennium handles software conflicts is interesting--especially compared with OS X's new approach. Have you ever installed a program only to find out that Mr. Computer doesn't like it?

Hall's influence on Trio 99[to]00 is understandable, since Metheny's previous CD, Jim Hall & Pat Metheny (Telarc), released last year, teamed the two friends for a bewitching program of unaccompanied duets. "It encapsulates the love and respect I have for Jim," Metheny says. Best of all is a magically spare version of Farmer's Trust, a tender waltz originally recorded by the Metheny Group in 1982, which leaves no doubt that despite his love of ear-popping electronic effects, he is above all a wonderfully fluent spinner of simple yet indelible melodies...
