In A Beautiful Sight, Apollo 11 Takes Off
As you may or may not know, I&#8217;m a big fan of manned space flight. I&#8217;m being serious. I truly marvel that man can leave Earth and bemoan the lack of progress and support for human travel away from Earth.
Such being the case, I thought it appropriate to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been some drama going down on The Hill in case you haven&#8217;t been paying attention. This year was arguably the closest physicians have ever come to having the Sustained Growth Rate formula automatically reduce their reimbursement under Medicare. 
Medicare is supposedly a fixed budget system when it comes to paying providers like physicians. [...]]]></description>

&#8216;&#8217;Dr. DeBakey&#8217;s reputation brought many people into this institution, and he treated them all: heads of state, entertainers, businessmen and presidents, as well as people with no titles and no means,'&#8217; said Ron Girotto, president of The Methodist Hospital System.

		<description><![CDATA[Aribert Heim was a Nazi SS officer and physician whose infamy lies in the horrific &#8216;experiments&#8217; he documented at Mauthausen Concentration camp during the year 1941. It is not for a lack of horror to Heim&#8217;s crimes that he lacks the name recognition of other Nazi physicians such as Josef Mengele. As Wikipedia says,
