"People can relate to it," says Uwe Reinhardt, an economist and health-policy expert at Princeton University...

Now for the hard part: recovering from the nasty hangover of six graduated seniors, including all five starters. One of those, Karen Force, a two-time All-Ivy selection and one of the most prolific scorers in Cornell history, will return as an assistant coach. Junior captains Sarah Brown and Hillary Seidel will man the Big Red backcourt, and fellow captain Brittani Rettig will anchor the post. Unfortunately for Cornell...
