More Recommended Reading

It's not online, so go to your local newsstand or bookstore and pick up a copy of this week's New Yorker so you can read Dr. Atul Gawande's article on ways to give people better care and reduce medical costs by provoding more and better care to people with chronic serious conditions.

If you haven't read Dr. Gawande's Complications, you should check that out, too.

And don't forget Ryan Lizza's important piece on Darrell Issa's (R-CA) history of ongoing interactions with law enforcement.

Not last night.
read both articles. the doctor's article sounds impressive, and yet leaves me tasting something funny in my head.
Lizza relishes Issa's "youthful indiscretions" but hell, if W. could get away with sending a nation to war on fabricated lies, Issa can get away with a little grand larceny and arson too. vox
