The impact of substance abuse
The new Democrats and the Newt Repub licans want to reform welfare, reduce crime, cut taxes, reshape Medicare, increase worker productivity and international competitive ness, house the homeless, and free state and federal budgets from the shackles of prison and Medicaid costs.

(These risks measure the proportion of total disease cases attributable to smoking, drinking, and drug use.) The risks for each disease…

For a long time, politicians have had trouble getting respect. This thankless breed, these politicians who cringe for favors from a screaming mob and do not care what harm they do their friends providing they can please a crowd, Euripides wrote 2,400 years ago.'

The Aging of America
The number and proportion of older people in the population of the United States is rising sharply as life expectancy increases. Meanwhile, in part because of trends toward earlier retirement, the proportion of active workers to retired citizens is diminishing. The result is increasing pressure on the federal budget, as programs of support and assistance for the aging claim an ever-increasing share of public outlays. In addition, many public and …
