Coastal development

Article Abstract:

Seventy-five percent of all Americans are expected to live with 80 miles of an ocean or one of the Great Lakes by early in the century. The influx of people to these areas is predicted to have cataclysmic effects on costal land, which is already fragile. The Clinton administration is trying to reduce shoreline subsidies, but critics seek protection policies that encourage responsible growth and protection from pollution and for fisheries.

Alzheimer's Disease: could it bankrupt the health-care system?

Article Abstract:

Scientist have determined possible causes of Alzheimer's disease, but have not yet found a way to screen for the disease, nor have they found a cure. Heath care experts say the number of Alzheimer cases is expected to double by 2030 and if more research funding is not approved by Congress, and a cure is not discovered the costly disease will cause serious financial strain on the health care system.

Cancer treatments

Article Abstract:

Cancer is expected to surpasses heart disease as the number one killer of Americans by 2003. Approximately $30 billion in public money has been spent on cancer research since the 1970, but critics claim relatively little has been accomplished. They suggest spending more money on cancer prevention and less on trying to find a cure.
