Murdock: Government option already a failure
By DEROY MURDOCK, Scripps Howard News Service

Autos: Range Rover gives the world a comfort zone
By RICHARD WILLIAMSON, Scripps Howard News Service

History is wasted on those who lack a sense of irony.

That one of the symbols of British privilege should end up in the hands of an Indian company is rich, indeed. But there it is: Tata Motors, based in the former colony, now owns and seeks to save Land Rover and its companion marquee Jaguar, keeping Brits employed in Solihull and Coventry.

Hart: How would CEO feel if wife joined his affair site?
By BETSY HART, Scripps Howard News Service

"Life is Short. Have an Affair." So reads the slogan for The Ashley Madison Agency Web site, a business devoted to helping married men and women sexually hook up with others.

With its in-your-face billboards and provocative ads, the site has been in the news the last few years. Recently I debated the merits of the site with its CEO, Noel Biderman, on "The Laura Ingraham Show."

Dead Wrong

A seven-month investigation into federal mortality records reveals hundreds of thousands of death certificates filed every year in the United States are wrong, meaning we don't really know what's killing Americans. A first-of-its-kind study also found that younger, well-educated and wealthy people are more likely to be autopsied when they die. More men than women are autopsied. And blacks, Hispanics, Asians and Native Americans are more likely to be autopsied than whites.

Recycled Radiation

Thousands of everyday products and materials containing radioactively tainted metals are surfacing across the United States and around the world. But because of haphazard screening, an absence of oversight, and substantial disincentives for businesses to report contamination, no one knows how many tainted goods are in circulation.

The Doctor is Out

A special report by Scripps Howard News Service finds as many as one in five Americans does not have a family doctor. And this translates directly to higher rates of illness and death and higher costs.
