MARCUS: A feast of perceptions about health care
Lots of people are
without health insurance, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they go without health care. Others have insurance that
doesn’t cover their needs. Either they don’t get the care or they go broke in the process.EDITORIAL: Susan Bayh’s tangled web puts cloud over senator husband
Corporate boards need more women, but not people such as Susan Bayh, wife of Sen. Evan Bayh. It’s not
that she isn’t up to the task. The former attorney at Eli Lilly and Co. and visiting professor at Butler University
is by all accounts capable. So we’re not surprised she regularly receives invitations to serve on boards. But
we are surprised she accepts.ALTOM: A voice of reason amid the craze over social media
Now there are hordes of Web sites in every industry,
for every region. If you use your site to attract business, you’re a snowflake in the world’s biggest blizzard.MARCUS: Economic slump inspires platitudes galore
If the problem is that consumers and businesses
are not spending because banks aren’t lending, then government making it easier for banks to lend and consumers to spend
is a good thing. The stimulus plan is right on target.MAURER: My rascal cousin is back in space
At precisely 6:03 p.m. July 15, space shuttle Endeavor blasted off from launch pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center for
its scheduled linkup with the International Space Station. My cousin, Indiana astronaut David Wolf, is on board.MARCUS: Will children make good leaders?
As a quiet person, I am not likely to intrude when I run across egregious wrongs. Most often I let dastardly deeds go without
comment. Someday, I hope, I will overcome this character defect and stand up in opposition to wrongdoers.LOU’S VIEWS: Abe Lincoln is back at Spencer County theater
After I discovered it one summer, Lincoln Amphitheatre quickly became one of my favorite theaters in the state. Nestled
in a state park in Spencer County, the covered-but-still-outdoor theater’s anchoring attraction was a show about young
Abraham Lincoln, who spent his formative years just yards away.KATTERJOHN: Climbing mountains for Parkinson’s
What is it about mountains? People climb them because they’re there. People climb them because the experience
is humbling and rewarding. People climb them because they represent a physical and mental challenge that, once met, is deeply
satisfying.MARCUS: Men, women use time differently
On an average day, nearly 83 percent of women, but only 64 percent of men, spend time engaged in household activities, according to a recent report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Plus, when women engage in household activities, they average two hours and 35 minutes per day while men average two hours and one minute.
BENNER: Mom and Lance Armstrong had cancer in common
A few years ago, when cyclist extraordinaire Lance Armstrong was in the midst of his phenomenal seven
straight Tour de France titles, those yellow Livestrong bands seemed ubiquitous. But when Armstrong left
competitive cycling, gradually those rubber yellow bands faded from view. I kept wearing mine, however, to remind me of the
courage of my mother, Emma.LOU’S VIEWS: Here’s the best from International Film Fest
This year’s Indianapolis International Film Festival gets rolling later this usual, with a bump to summer precipitated
in part by the moving on of its founder to the Nashville Film Festival and in part by the move of most of the fest (minus
parties) to the Indianapolis Museum of Art. We’ve spent the last few weeks reviewing most of the
features in competition.MARCUS: If not taxes, how about user fees?
“Most people hate to pay taxes,” Gregory Goad said. “They don’t appreciate the services taxes support,
they don’t understand why taxes are necessary, or they don’t like to help people in need.”LOU’S VIEWS: Breaking with the past at Tut show
I entered "Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharoahs" (at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis through Oct. 25) with a limited knowledge of Egyptian history—and by limited, I mean loose threads picked up from a handful of Mummy movies, the Bible, and a few too many productions of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat."
MARCUS: Budget made by rudderless Legislature
If we are lucky, by the time you read these words the Indiana General Assembly will have passed a new budget. Democrats use
tarot cards and Republicans chicken innards to determine how much to spend. There are alternatives.EYE ON THE PIE: Budget made by rudderless Legislature-WEB ONLY
If we are lucky, by the time you read these words the Indiana General Assembly will have passed a new budget. Democrats use tarot cards and Republicans chicken innards to determine how much to spend. There are alternatives. In some states, changes in the level of the budget are driven by the percent change in […]
Taking coupons into digital era-WEB ONLY
Somewhere out there, a pimply teen-ager is texting away on her phone and working up an appetite for a Brownie Batter Blizzard. The 11-store Dairy Queen franchise owned by Dave Reasner knows this kid has shunned burger and chili-dog offers in the past. But on certain days of the week, she craves Blizzards more than […]
Diversifying into life sciences-WEB ONLY
As one of the city’s most prominent minority business owners, Bill Mays built his chemical distributorship largely on the backs of domestic automakers. In 1980,when he founded Mays Chemical Co. Inc., the Big Three accounted for nearly 75 percent of all new-car sales. But that number has dwindled to less than half of all new […]
MARCUS: Grouch finds good in the economy
To use a gardening metaphor, have the courage to prune back in a tough economy, and plant new seeds before the weather improves.

For the first time in 15 years, lawmakers in Washington have plunged into a debate about overhauling the nation’s health care system. New proposals come out every week, with bills filed in Congress running longer than 600 pages and 10-year cost estimates […]
