- Midwives and Maternity Care in the Ancient Roman World (Indiana.edu - French)
"Accustomed as we are to the procedures of late twentiethcentury obstetrics with its emphasis on prenatal care, asepsis, and medical technology, our reactions to some of the methods and medications used for normal, uncomplicated childbirth in the GrecoRoman world are likely to range from mild amusement to outright revulsion. While we can make only educated guesses about the mortality rates associated with childbirth in antiquity, we can reconstruct a fairly detailed description of GrecoRoman maternity care and recover a partial picture of the women who attended this epochal life event- the midwives." 1-04

- A Guide to Ohio and New Mexico Recounts (AudittheVote.org)
"After the widespread publicity surrounding irregularities in the 2000 presidential election, there has been a general misconception across the country that the 2004 elections occurred with little trouble. Through early voting, on November 2, and in the weeks since election day, widespread reports of machine malfunction, voter intimidation and suppression, partisan election officials, and vote counting difficulties have made it clear that many votes have gone uncounted or not been counted as cast."
"In a majority of states, particularly in Ohio, New Mexico, Colorado, Maryland, Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina and Indiana, there has been evidence of problems in the election that may have affected the outcome." 4-05

- 01-24-07 Senate Committee Passes Nonbinding Measure Against Troop Buildup (CNN News)
"The committee vote, 12-9 along party lines, capped hours of debate in which Republicans and Democrats vented their frustration and anger -- both with the administration and their own past unwillingness to change the course of a war that has claimed the lives of more than 3,000 U.S. troops."
Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, the committee's senior Republican, "voted against the [nonbinding] measure, saying, 'It is unclear to me how passing a nonbinding resolution that the president has already said he will ignore will contribute to any improvement or modification of our Iraq policy.' "
Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer of California said: 'Read the Constitution. The Congress has the power to declare war. And on multiple occasions, we used our power to end conflicts.' " 01-07

- -04-30-08 The Health Care Debate of 2008 (Time.com)
"I've always been skeptical that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama could really get a health care debate going that would actually engage voters (though a group of Clinton supporters is trying once again with a new ad in Indiana). The fact is, their two approaches are very similar, and their plans share many of the same features: a requirement that employers cover their workers, big purchasing pools for people who don't get covered at work, subsidies to help them afford it. Both build on the existing system, and don't push people out of it, if they like what they have. So their biggest difference--Clinton's so-called 'individual mandate,' or requirement that individuals puchase insurance if their employers don't provide it--is not one that is likely to become an issue that really determines many people's votes." 04-08
- -05-07-08 Clinton Fights on as Prospects Dim (CNN News)
"Obama's victory in North Carolina and Clinton's narrow win in Indiana led one of Clinton's most prominent backers, Sen. George McGovern, to switch his support from Clinton to Obama, Clinton campaign sources said."
"The Democratic presidential nominee in 1972 also said he urged Clinton to drop out of the race, saying it was virtually impossible for her to win the nomination."
"The most important outcome of Tuesday's primaries may be that Obama widened his lead over Clinton in the crucial delegate race. The senator from Illinois won a majority of the 219 delegates at stake Tuesday, allowing him to up his total delegate count to 1,836, CNN estimates, a 155 delegate lead over Clinton." 05-08
- -05-07-08 Obama Nears Finish Line (CNN News)
"Sen. Barack Obama took a major step Tuesday toward securing the Democratic presidential nomination. He not only scored a convincing victory in North Carolina, but he also made Hillary Clinton's path to the nomination even more difficult by finishing closely behind her in Indiana." 05-08
