  1. Healthcare for Angelina Jolie -- and everyone else [Blowback]

    We applaud Times columnist Robin Abcarian for <a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-angelina-jolie-cost-20130514,0,4039132.story">shining the light</a> on the inequities in our healthcare system in response to Angelina Jolie&rsquo;s recent announcement about her prophylactic mastectomy. When Jolie made her medical decision, she had at her disposal the resources to pay for the procedures and the best doctors; not everyone has the same ability.

  3. Christopher Shinn's plays explore what victims do next

    NEW YORK &mdash; David Mamet has his hustlers, Edward Albee his domestic warriors, Tony Kushner his brilliant self-flagellators. If playwright Christopher Shinn has a signature character, it is the manipulative victim &mdash; the half-sympathetic, half-deplorable sort of person whose suffering is real but who uses it as rationale for bad behavior.

  10. Who should own DNA? All of us

    Most court cases involving patent law are corporate battles, with one company suing another for infringing on its intellectual property rights and, therefore, profits. Big companies fighting over big money can seem painfully irrelevant, especially when so many of us are simply struggling to get by.

  11. Tumor DNA studies help explain cancer genetics

    As it has become more efficient and less expensive to analyze the DNA in normal cells, it has also gotten a whole lot easier to analyze the mutated DNA in tumors &mdash; a project scientists hope will help explain why cancer behaves as it does and what new strategies oncologists might use to stop its growth.
