School Vouchers Will |
|
| In a country that insists on market-driven free enterprise solutions in virtually every aspect of life, it��셲 ironic that we continue to allow our schools to operate as state-run monopolies. But an increasing number of Americans are beginning to recognize this irony and want to do something about it. |

From Here to Immorta |
|
| Until recently, only a tiny fraction of Americans reached their 100th birthdays. Yet, with technologies available today or already in the pipeline, this number has already begun to increase dramatically. For example, in 1990, there were 37,306 Americans who were at least 100 years old. By the year 2010, there will be 131,000. And, by 2050, projections by the U.S. Census Bureau anticipate there being 834,000 centenarians. |

Carbon Nanotube Elec |
|
| As we all know, computer chips have been getting smaller, faster, and cheaper year-by-year for decades now. Today, some $10 pocket calculators pack more power than the most sophisticated, multi-million-dollar mainframe computer of the mid-1950s. |

The Looming Doctor S |
|
| With nearly 80 million Baby Boomers approaching retirement age, America is facing a critical crisis. There simply aren萸� enough doctors to care for the aging population.
Currently, the U.S. produces about 25,000 doctors a year. To keep up with the demographic trends, we萸쟫 need between 3,000 and 10,000 more per year. Making matters worse is how long it takes to train a physician ?an entire decade ?which means that by the year 2020, the U.S. will face a shortage of as many as 200,000 doctors, according to a recent report in USA Today. |
