Howard County Law Enforcement (Images of America)
by Tom Kelley Jon ZeckSince the 1880s, when a Howard County sheriff's deputy shot the mayor of Kokomo during the commission of a burglary, Howard County law enforcement officers have played an important role in the community's history. Police officers, deputies, and troopers cleared rowdies out of the junction neighborhood, walked downtown beats, rescued tornado survivors, quelled civil disturbances, cleaned up tragic accidents, and solved grisly murders. By the mid-1940s, a new generation of war veterans came home with a spirit of progress and experience in leadership. The foundation of compassion, perseverance, and integrity they established in Howard County law enforcement has defined their unswerving commitment to the safety of the community and to one another. Images of America: Howard County Law Enforcement tells their story.
Howard Dean's Prescription for Real Healthcare Reform
by Howard Dean Igor Volsky Faiz ShakirAmericans have pondered how to reform healthcare since the days of Harry Truman. But for most Americans, little has changed-except that healthcare costs have soared, health insurance companies have grown bigger and more oppressive to both doctors and patients, and today even those Americans who pay dearly for health insurance frequently find that their policies don't adequately cover them when they need their coverage most. In his bold new book, Howard Dean-the physician and former governor widely credited for reviving the Democratic Party after the 2004 elections-tells Americans what needs to be done to successfully reform healthcare. One key, he writes, is to offer Americans the option to participate in a public health insurance program, much like Medicare. In this straight-talking guide to overcoming today's healthcare crisis, Dean spells out: * What Obama's healthcare plan is all about * How other countries handle healthcare * Which special interests are standing in the way of progress and why * How healthcare reform will help American businesses prosper * Why Americans need choice-between private and public health insurance coverage Millions of Americans lack health insurance; millions more pay for coverage that doesn't protect them from serious illness; and the status quo leaves Americans at the mercy of corporate interests. This persuasive argument from a passionate political strategist shows Americans how to take back the healthcare reins.
