В Иллиное действуют два взаимопротиворечивых положения, одинаково талантливых. Первое - указ губернатора Благоевича, повелевающий всем аптекарям продавать контрацептивы, действующие после полового акта.

Второе - Закон о Свободе Совести в Здравоохранении, в котором есть Секция 5: Sec. 5. Discrimination. It shall be unlawful for any person, public or private institution, or public official to discriminate against any person in any manner, including but not limited to, licensing, hiring, promotion, transfer, staff appointment, hospital, managed care entity, or any other privileges, because of such person's conscientious refusal to receive, obtain, accept, perform, assist, counsel, suggest, recommend, refer or participate in any way in any particular form of health care services contrary to his or her conscience. (Source: P.A. 90-246, eff. 1-1-98.) (745 ILCS 70/6)

Спрашивается, что же делать, если корпорация Волмарт (кто же ещё) пытается уволить своего свихнувшегося аптекаря, отказавшегося торговать таблетками.

Ответ пришёл от вашингтонских наместников. A federal judge said this week that Illinois pharmacists etc. etc.

Offering or accepting a draw, or resigning, is the one decision that opens the hermetically sealed world of chess to the real world, in which life is short and there are things more important than chess to think about.

Оттуда же: The draft ended in 1973, just before the Vietnam War did. But its demise was foretold four years earlier, on March 27, 1969, when Richard Nixon—just two months into his presidency—announced the creation of a "commission on an all-volunteer armed force."

It was well understood that the purpose of the commission was to sanctify the abolition of the draft. The panel was chaired by Thomas Gates, a former secretary of defense in the Eisenhower administration. But more to the point, it was set up by Martin Anderson, Nixon's campaign chairman and a free-market economist who opposed conscription on philosophical grounds. And among the commissioners that Anderson appointed were two of the nation's most renowned libertarian economists, who shared Anderson's view on the matter: Milton Friedman and Alan Greenspan.

Лев Роквелл обнаружил у графа Н.Д.Толстого:
Reagan revisited

Sir, – Among the catalogue of crimes Sylvan Gollin ascribes to President Reagan is the fact that “he did nothing to avenge the massacre of 241 Marines in Lebanon that occurred on his watch” (Letters, July 27).
Some of us would regard this as one of his virtues. How was he supposed to identify and punish those responsible? Today we witness daily the effects of “avenging” a crime by killing and maiming hundreds of thousands of people who manifestly bore no connection with the event. It is scarcely an edifying prospect.

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysian police have arrested a man who practiced as a dentist for 29 years although he had no medical training.

Да, кстати. Critics of the American Medical Association, including economist Milton Friedman, have asserted that the organization acts as a government-sanctioned guild and has attempted to increase physicians' wages and fees limit by influencing limitations on the supply of physicians and non-physician competition. They assert that these actions not only have inflated the cost of healthcare in the United States but also have caused a decline in the quality of healthcare.
