Here are a couple of links to interesting reading on ideas that we will talk about in this class.

Life Expectancy By Country. I mentioned this in class yesterday. Why is the U.S. so far down the list relative to our wealth, power, and access to hospitals and doctors?
Give these a look when you have time.
