OBAMACARE: A Law or a Shakedown? Nice insurance company you have there. Be a shame if something happened to it.

Coffins are one-size-fits-all.

NATURE: NASA funding shuffle alarms planetary scientists. I'm not terribly concerned; this is why. I'll have some sympathy when political science returns to just science.

Gist: Elite is good. Funnel the masses to "more targeted educational pathways that will enable them to find decent employment with a minimum of debt."
