Dear Friend:
Here are three new items you might be interested in.
First, I wrote up my reaction to the stock market plunge: "Lessons of a Stock Dive." The so-called soft landing may not turn out to be so soft, after all. And it's time for Democrats to start talking fiscal sense.
Second, I think you'll like Ruth Conniff's web exclusive: "Universal Health Care Gets a Bump." She notes how an increasing number of governors are pushing for this, and even Wal-Mart is warming to the idea. But she adds: "Somebody tell President Bush."
You also might want to check out a heartbreaking story from our March issue, which we just posted on our site: "Broken by This War," by Stacy Bannerman. "Almost 60,000 military marriages have been broken by the war," she writes. "Including mine."
I hope you like these.
All best,
