Money Cash With A Catch

A recent New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) survey found that New Yorkers got clipped by as much as $4.75 to get money from another bank’s machine. (Nationwide, the average is roughly $3.) Worse, you don’t see the surcharge until you receive your bank statement in the mail. “Customers aren’t warned about those fees,” says Ed Mierzwinski, consumer-program director of the National Association of State PIRGs. Some tips: look for banks, like Washington Mutual, that don’t charge noncustomers; use your debit card at stores that give you cash back (usually there’s no fee)....

If the United States has a health-insurance crisis, its youth is facing a calamity. Roughly one in three young adults, 19 to 29, lack coverage because they finished going to school or because they’re just too old to stay under Mom and Dad’s plan. That’s more than double the rate of everybody else, reports the Commonwealth Fund, a foundation that funds research on health issues.

Monkeying Around With The Brain

Nicolelis and his colleagues tackled the question by implanting electrodes in a monkey’s brain. These electrodes eavesdropped on dozens of brain cells, called neurons. The researchers then created a computer model that predicted how the monkey would move every time those neurons fired. Once they hooked the computer model up to a robot arm, the researchers could tell how well the model was working. When monkey and robot moved the same way, the model was accurate....

More Bad News In The Air

The severity of the ozone loss left little room for political maneuvering. The Senate responded virtually overnight with a 96-0 vote calling for an accelerated phaseout of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the ozone-depleting chemicals widely used as solvents and refrigerants. “The Clean Air Act says clearly that if the problem gets worse, we must respond,” said Tennessee Sen. Al Gore, sponsor of the amendment. “It’s taken an ozone hole over Kennebunkport to get the president’s attention....

More Gop Doubts On Tax Cuts

Packwood’s dim view of tax cuts might undermine the presidential campaign of his ally Bob Dole, who has stood by the Oregon senator as he fights charges of sexual misconduct. Conservatives surely would blame Dole if the Senate fails to match the House bill.

More Releases

A month after being put under house arrest in September of 2000, the dissident participated in United Nations-brokered talks with Burma’s ruling military junta, hoping to transform the government from a military state to something approaching a democratic society. It was only after nearly two years of house arrest that she was released as a confidence building gesture by the junta. Now that the 56-year-old Aung San Suu Kyi has been freed from house arrest, however, questions remain as to how serious the military is about reform and where the democratic process goes from here....
