The Art of Blackmail

October 4, 2009
The New York Times
By JOHN SCHWARTZ

In 1824, a publisher wrote to the first Duke of Wellington with a threat: he was about to publish a salacious memoir by a former mistress of the duke’s. Money could keep Wellington out of those red-hot pages.

The Iron Duke, vanquisher of Napoleon, sent the letter back with a message scrawled across it: “Publish and be damned.”

Last week David Letterman outdid the duke. He worked with the Manhattan district attorney’s office and a grand jury to arrest a man who allegedly tried to blackmail him. And then Mr. Letterman confessed to his audience of millions that he had had sexual affairs with members of his staff — the very “terrible, terrible things” that, he said, the man had threatened to expose unless he paid him $2 million.

Health Care Rationing Rhetoric Overlooks Reality

June 17, 2009
The New York Times
By DAVID LEONHARDT

Rationing.

More to the point: Rationing!

As in: Wait, are you talking about rationing medical care? Access to medical care is a fundamental right. And rationing sounds like something out of the Soviet Union. Or at least Canada.

The r-word has become a rejoinder to anyone who says that this country must reduce its runaway health spending, especially anyone who favors cutting back on treatments that don’t have scientific evidence behind them. You can expect to hear a lot more about rationing as health care becomes the dominant issue in Washington this summer.

[ ... ]

But flat-out opposition to comparative effectiveness is, in the end, opposition to making good choices. And all the noise about rationing is not really a courageous stand against less medical care. It’s a utopian stand against better medical care.
