The Permanent Thing Called Cereal

It is evidently very difficult to introduce a new cereal into the market. They are ever old, ever new. We all recognize these names from our childhood. The young today know them all too.

The Snare of Government Subsidies

In 1977, Lew Rockwell was the editor of Private Practice, a journal of medical economics. That year, he put together three teams of speakers to present evening seminars for physicians in three dozen cities. The teams made the case against tax-funded medicine.

On each team was a physician from Canada, one from England, and maybe one from Australia, each with horror stories to tell on the practice of medicine under tax-funded medical health care delivery. There was also an American physician and one non-physician. As I recall, there was also a Congressman.
