The measure argues it offers better care at lower cost, avoids unnecessary nursing home confinement, and aligns with projected elderly population growth.
A recent AP roundup notes colleges woo brains like athletes as freshman pools shrink. Direct mail incentives, scholarships and even jets for top students show rising competition while bans curb enticements and deposits. If scholarly prestige rivals sports culture, higher education faces new ethical questions.
The piece critiques Interior Secretary Watt for proposing motorized access to public lands and mining near parks, contrasting with President Reagan's wilderness values and Rancho del Cielo retreat.
