Bush at the Republican National Convention for a “passion of inclusion” toward minorities in Texas and said the man leading the GOP ticket can help bridge racial divides. Powell, possibly a future secretary of state, spoke as Laura Bush highlighted literacy and education during a high tech, showy convention opening.

Prescription drug costs rise for seniors unless Medicare steps in
Families USA reports Americans 65 and older pay much more for prescriptions than in 1992 and project costs to increase further through 2010. Seniors now spend about $1,205 annually, with per prescription costs rising from $28.50 to $42.30 and expected to hit $72.94 in 2010. The group argues Medicare coverage is needed as older adults buy more meds, about 29 annually now and an anticipated 39 by 2010.
