Important byproduct of whats happening. Host from Medicare Part d, Lessons Learned you had cited Crisis Management teams that were created to come up with metrics to gauge progress dealing with technology glitches. How did that work . Created teamsally in anticipation that we would could deale that with the problems separate from those who were having to deal with the ongoing management of the program.

If they were the same people running the computers, they would stop doing that. We had a bouncy six weeks. I was a time when in 20 states and 13 days trying to keep people calm to say we are working on fixing this so be patient. Some of the same thing is going on now.

Susan john, your latest biography is ted kennedy a life. Please sum up the man and politician in a couple of seconds. John he was a u. S. Senator who succeeded despite serious flaws and a life, a tormented life filled with tragedy. That is how i would describe him. Susan you write in the book that his life is a lens to examine the cause. Explain. John jfk came into the office as something of a centrist.

And the result is this book, subversives the fbis war on student radicals and reagans rise to power. Its an extraordinary book, and when i read it finally and, by the way, i was waiting for years to read it and hearing about it its an extraordinary book because its written primarily from the perspective of the fbi, a voice that we rarely hear in public and one that when we hear it, were not sure what to think until we see their documents.
