The Secrets of Taylor Creek
FBI Agent Jaxson Locke is sent to Beaufort, North Carolina, to recover a rare car belonging to an agent who disappeared in 1965. All he knows before his arrival is that Agent Nathan Emerson went there over fifty years ago to conduct an unauthorized investigation into the mysterious deaths of three young women. Agent Locke learns that during the 1965 investigation, innocent people were killed, and Agent Emerson is still currently wanted for those murders. The only two living witnesses who know anything about the missing agent have nothing new to say, but when Agent Locke searches the car, he finds a journal revealing they know more than they led him to believe. He goes back to the witnesses, wanting the truth, and they finally share their secrets of Taylor Creek.
Hearing on AIDS

Michael Merson of the World Health Organization, Richard Bissell of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and Milton Amayun of World Vision Relief and Development read prepared statements and answered questions about the extent of the AIDS epidemic, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, and about the efforts of their organizations to help developing nations deal with the problem.

The World Health Organization between North and South
Since 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) has launched numerous programs aimed at improving health conditions around the globe, ranging from efforts to eradicate smallpox to education programs about the health risks of smoking. In setting global health priorities and carrying out initiatives, the WHO bureaucracy has faced the challenge of reconciling the preferences of a small minority of wealthy nations, who fund the organization, with the demands of poorer member countries, who hold the majority of votes. In The World Health Organization between North and South, Nitsan Chorev shows how the WHO bureaucracy has succeeded not only in avoiding having its agenda co-opted by either coaliti...
Selling Teaching Hospitals and Practice Plans
Why would a university renowned for its school of medicine ever sell its teaching hospital? In his newest book, Dr. John A. Kastor presents an insider’s view of why university medical centers decide to sell teaching hospitals, why the decision might be a good one, and how such transitions are received by the faculty and administration. Kastor tells the story of two universities that, under financial duress for more than a decade, chose to sell their teaching hospitals. George Washington University sold to a national, for-profit corporation, Universal Health Services, Inc., and Georgetown University sold to a not-for-profit, local company, MedStar Health. Through interviews with key players involved in and affected by these decisions, Kastor examines the advantages and disadvantages of selling and describes the problems that can afflict medical schools that separate from their faculty practice plans. For the current leaders of medical schools facing similar financial challenges, Kastor analyzes how much it costs to teach clinical medicine and offers valuable advice on how to reduce expenses and increase surpluses.
