For once, news on Obama's healthcare caught my attention in a positive way, not a negative way. It's good to see something that seems like it actually might make a difference by tackling it head on. The front page article about the drug fight had a great delayed lead- "For the melanoma patients who signed on to try a drug known as PLX4032" the clinical trial was a last resort. Their bodies were riddled with tumors, leaving theme almost certainly just months to live" It continues on to use personal stories to tell the story about these people who have suddenly recovered because of this certain drug. More articles on Haiti continue, now covering the issue of missing limbs. I wonder at what point the news on Haiti will die out. I also found the article about the gay broadway show extremely interesting and relevant. Most of the time, the news covers political aspects of homosexuality, rather than what it really is about, which is love. I'm glad to see that the paper and broadway shows are both covering this issue
