The targets of the proposed policy are the transgender students of the Douglas County School District — or cisgender children who express their birth gender nontraditionally. Think boys in kilts, girls in pants, that sort of thing ...

It's hard to blame Las Vegans for a lack of excitement. Oakland’s fans aren’t thrilled about the A’s or their ownership. ... On the field, the team is heading for one of the worst records in Major League history.

Industrial-scale government investment did, however, elevate a pair of regional outposts into global metropolises — or, at least, into a pair of cities with industrially outsized cultural cachet.

The history of public health in the U.S. has been one of panic and neglect. We neglect our system and then we panic when we have a public health emergency. We then spend large sums of money that comes too late. Rinse and repeat. 

If there is one thing that is certain in the world of healthcare, it is that innovation is vital. New discoveries are how we eradicate diseases. Similar advancements are how we will one-day cure cancer, Alzheimer's and other afflictions.
