You should read 'The 1619 Project' for yourself. I did.
Nikole Hannah-Jones, a Pulitzer Prize-winning staffer at The New York Times Magazine, conceived the first iteration of "The 1619 Project" as a special edition of the magazine timed to appear on the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first ship carrying slaves to America. The issue contained 10 essays proclaiming the centrality of slavery in our history. Generations of history scholars have agreed on this concept, but it lacked widespread awareness.
Richard J Rosen, M.D.: Why the wealth gap needs to close
Richard J Rosen, M.D.: Why the wealth gap needs to close Richard Rosen Richard J Rosen, M.D. Guest columnist John Hood recently wrote (“No, inequality isn’t increasing,” April 4) that the gap between wealthiest and poorest is not widening when one takes into account the wealth transfer (WT) to the poor, such as safety net provisions including food stamps, tax credits and Medicaid health insurance. This brought to mind several relevant images.

Bottom Line: Drug must be properly vetted before its use
In 1971, a preliminary report suggested urea might relieve pain of sickle cell crisis. In 1974, a controlled trial disproved that. In 1990, a preliminary trial suggested treating women with poor-prognosis breast cancer (pathology showing 10-plus nodes), using high-dose chemotherapy and transplanting the patient’s bone marrow, improved chances of survival. In 2000, this highly toxic program was abandoned when large trials were negative.
Bottom Line: Now, more than ever, we need to close the coverage gap
How does COVID-19 change the need to close the insurance coverage gap? Even before COVID-19, there were compelling reasons for North Carolina to join 37 other states and expand Medicaid. Roughly 400,000 people would gain health insurance. In states that have expanded Medicaid, many measures, including greater access to care, improved control of chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, and reduced infant mortality rates have been reported.
Smoking and Lung Cancer Mortality in the United States From 2015 to 2065
TO THE EDITOR: It is reassuring that the downward trend in smoking and lung cancer mortality noted by Jeon and colleagues (1) will continue into the next half-century if efforts to prevent smoking initiation and promote smoking cessation are maintained at current levels. Although an ounce of prevention may be worth several pounds of cure when it comes to lung cancer, the authors do not consider potential progress in the treatment of this condition in the next 50 years.
Do not smoke before or after pregnancy
Anita Bachman’s Nov. 4 article about North Carolina’s high infant mortality rate included advice for pregnant women to not smoke. Mothers smoking during pregnancy leads to prematurity and lower birth weight in the offspring, which are correlated with infant mortality. But no mention was made about parents not smoking after birth of a child, especially in their home.

Medicaid expansion would help the public
In the Feb. 5 News & Record (“Debate on Medicaid expansion not urgent”), Shelly Carver, a spokeswoman for state Sen. Phil Berger stated, “Senator Berger has made several public comments on his position on Medicaid expansion and his position has not changed.”The article claims his opposition is largely related to concern that the federal government may not keep its pledge to cover 90 percent of the costs.
Review: Health care as big business
By Richard RosenAs a physician who closed my private practice office 20 years ago, it might be expected that I would look back with nostalgia on good old days before health care transformed into its current monstrosity.Reinforcing and expanding my views, the indictment Elisabeth Rosenthal brings in her book, An American Sickness: How Health Care Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back” is measured and profound.Unfortunately, the “Taking It Back” part is shorter, partial and...
Consent forms first step toward more transparent policing – Richard Rosen | News & Observer
A major factor contributing to the widespread distrust of the police by minority communities is the law enforcement practice of disproportionately stopping and searching motorists of color, often on the most minor of pretexts and without any reasonable grounds to suspect that the motorist is carrying evidence or contraband. Such stops and searches, the latter often justified when the police allegedly obtain “voluntary” consent to the search, are not trivial, momentary intrusions.
Counterpoint: Gender isn't an absolute proposition - Greensboro News & Record: Letters To Editor
In the debate following passage of the disastrous HB 2, consideration of gender complexities might provide insight. In the 1950s, Richard Raskind captained the Yale tennis team and played on the men’s tennis circuit. After decades of practicing ophthalmology, in 1975 he transitioned to Renee Richards and competed as a woman, ranking as high as 20th nationally and reaching the U.S. Open finals in women’s doubles.

Under the headline, “Bad tobacco math” in the Feb. 21 Short Stack was a lament that the former Lorillard plant would soon lay off an unknown number of employees as production is reduced from 15 percent to 10 percent of the nation’s cigarettes. The jobs are good, and I fervently hope the workers are able to find new work.
