Containing health care costs...
... north of the border style. As Krugman points out, they do it with a single-payer program that is pretty popular and provides good care. One-and-a-half cheers for socialism!

Gehry and Facebook
Let's face it, the Bay Area is something of an architectural wasteland, notwithstanding a couple of nice Wright buildings and the Golden Gate Bridge. So I'm delighted that Facebook has recruited Frank Gehry to design their Menlo Park expansion. Being an oldster who kinda likes having his own office, I'm not sure I'd want to work in that warehouse, tasty snacks notwithstanding, and it's unfortunate that their campus is so remote from mass transit. But I look forward to looking at it when I drive out to the Dumbarton Bridge.
