The penalty phase of preventive care
Long-term care insurers do their own triage
You know what medical checkups are all about. Physicians recommend performing these routines regularly. Check this, check that — 'cause you never know.
A 'Joseph moment' in political combat
What difference can Obama's ex-pastor make now?
Toward the end of Bill Moyers' PBS interview with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. on Friday evening, the preacher talked about the power of God to turn to a good end the plans men devise to do great harm.
The haunting face of world hunger
To the burdens of the poorest, another load
A time or two, I've been hungry enough to eat a horse, as one might say. What I've never been is hungry enough to eat a rat. Or a dirt pie. Never so desperate as to fight — and perhaps do injury to a stranger — for something to put in the stomach. Or to scour a garbage dump for scraps that might pass for food.
A club to scare up the volunteer spirit
Mandate for parent involvement just won't do it
Magicians wave a wand, and things happen. Lawmakers? They brandish bills and hope something will happen. Not enough parents participating in their children's schools? Why, wave a bill at it. There's gotta be a law to match all of life's nagging problems.

A loss of innocence among the youth?
Don't blame the schools; they didn't do it
A steel-drum concert usually is loud enough that chattering teens a row back and crinkling candy wrap aren't too much of a distraction. An annoyance, to be sure, but nothing, I've discovered, that this comforting thought can't submerge:
Expert civilian corps, an afterthought
The president recognizes soft power
Nation-building never figured highly, if at all, on George W. Bush's agenda for world leadership. He dismisssed the notion of using America's resources, military, human and financial, to help patch up fractured nations. It took a delusional view of how simple it would be to ''stand up'' a functioning democracy in Iraq (and in the Middle East) to put an end to the scoffing.
Drug reaction: It's in the drink, for sure
Flushing habit leaves trace amounts in water supplies
When the Associated Press reported early this month that traces of all kinds of pharmaceutical drugs have been found in drinking-water supplies across the country, I felt a stab of guilt. Not for the times I've chuckled at hearing someone respond, ''It must be in the water '' to explain some odd behavior (as we've heard, there is something in the water), but for my own share of whatever is in the water.
