Thank You, Dr. John Gorrie by Ted Burrows
Ted Burrows profiles John Gorrie a Florida physician whose early refrigeration ideas led to air conditioning and the refrigerator. Born in 1803 on Nevis, he practiced in Apalachicola, built a rainless cooling device, earned patents, but died penniless in 1855. His work inspired later industrial cooling developments despite early ridicule.

Ending PAC influence on Capitol Hill through disclosure
The piece argues that a modern protection racket operates on Capitol Hill via PAC money from lobbyists to lawmakers. It cites FEC data showing 3.7 million dollars in the first half of 1985 to Finance and Ways and Means Committee members, and notes few lawmakers refuse PAC money. It proposes full disclosure by media to let voters judge whether incumbents serve constituents or donors, and urges reporting gifts from lobbies alongside voting records.
