Tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg: A trailblazer for the ages
In 1993, Justice Ginsburg was Judge Ginsburg on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. She was well-respected not only for her razor-sharp intellect and ability to frame arguments, but also for how well she got along with her colleagues across the ideological spectrum (including then-Judge Scalia, who served on the bench with her). I had followed her career for a long time: As a young lawyer, I admired her groundbreaking legal strategy, her academic work, and her leadership at the helm of the ACLU Women's Rights Project. When my husband had the opportunity to appoint a new Supreme Court Justice that year, I recommended he take a close look at Ruth.

State of terror : a novel
\"After a tumultuous period in American politics, a new administration has just been sworn in, and to everyone's surprise the president chooses a political enemy for the vital position of Secretary of State. There is no love lost between the President of the United States and Ellen Adams, his new Secretary of State. But it's a canny move on the part of the president. With this appointment, he silences one of his harshest critics, since taking the job means Adams must step down as head of her multinational media conglomerate. As the new president addresses Congress for the first time, with Secretary Adams in attendance, Anahita Dahir, a young foreign service officer (FSO) on the Pakistan desk at the State Department, receives a baffling text from an anonymous source. Too late, she realizes the message was a hastily coded warning. What begins as a series of apparent terrorist attacks is revealed to be the beginning of an international chess game involving the volatile and byzantine politics of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran; the race to develop nuclear weapons in the region; the Russian mob; a burgeoning rogue terrorist organization; and an American government set back on its heels in the international arena. As the horrifying scale of the threat becomes clear, Secretary Adams and her team realize it has been carefully planned to take advantage of four years of an American government out of touch with international affairs, out of practice with diplomacy, and out of power in the places where it counts the most. To defeat such an intricate, carefully constructed conspiracy, it will take the skills of a unique team: a passionate young FSO; a dedicated journalist; and a smart, determined, but as yet untested new Secretary of State.\"-- Provided by publisher
Making Patient Safety the Centerpiece of Medical Liability Reform
To overcome the impasse in the debate on medical liability, Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama have introduced legislation, the National Medical Error Disclosure and Compensation (MEDiC) Bill, to direct reform toward the improvement of patient safety. The Senators write that the MEDiC Bill provides a commonsense solution that avoids the political pitfalls that have hampered other efforts to reform the medical liability system.
We have visited doctors and hospitals throughout the country and heard firsthand from those who face ever-escalating insurance costs. Indeed, in some specialties, high premiums are forcing physicians to give up performing certain high-risk procedures, leaving patients without access to a full range of medical services. But we have also talked with families who have experienced errors in their care, and it has become clear to us that if we are to find a fair and equitable solution to this complex problem, all parties — physicians, hospitals, insurers, and patients — must work together. Instead of focusing on the few . . .
