Abortion Funding Faces House Hurdle in Health Bill
The House debates health care reform with abortion funding a key issue. Proponents argue segregated funding preserves federal neutrality while opponents seek fewer protections. Leaders target a Friday start for debate and a possible Saturday vote as Senate action looms later.
Health care overhaul timetable may slip in Senate
Senate momentum for health care reform faces a possible year end delay as Majority Leader Harry Reid warns the deadline may slip. Democrats wrestle with internal divisions while House moves toward a weekend vote on a bill to extend coverage, curb insurer practices, and restrain medical spending growth. The plan aims to expand coverage to about 96 percent of Americans and may include a government insurance option.

Levi-Strauss dies at 100 founder of modern anthropology
Anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss, 100, died in Paris with reports he passed away Friday. Born in 1908 in Brussels to French Jewish parents, he fled Vichy France during World War II and built a career in structuralism that reshaped anthropology and influenced humanities and philosophy. His work emphasized underlying patterns across cultures and challenged racial divisions. News leaders, including President Sarkozy and UNESCO Director General Koichiro Matsuura, paid tribute to his influence on thought and environmental concerns.
