Free medical care helps poor people only slightly
A Rand Corp study shows free medical care offers limited health gains for the general population, though it lowers high blood pressure modestly and improves vision for some.

Deer Meets Skylight In Rice Lumber Solarium
A five point deer fell through a skylight at Rice Lumber Co after pawing across the roof. Employee Lyn Scoggins found the animal in the solarium, bloodied its nose, and the owner estimated $1,000 in repairs. The deer slipped through an insulated glass door while trying to flee.
