July 10 News Update

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

Death of the "N-word." This an article from today's Washington Times on the NAACP's attempt to bury this racial slur once and for all. Is this possible?

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.
