Exploring the Relationships" edited by J Auerbach
and B Krimgold is now available online.  Go to
www.npa1.org <http://www.npa1.org> .  Its right there, under "new,"
with the cover art, a brief summary of the book

There was a nice piece on NPR this morning
about the book, and we had a good briefing
at the National Press Club yesterday.  (Sally
Satel didnt show up to discuss our findings
but many from NIH, HHS, & the media did!)

We were asked about the monograph title,
and did note that we have received lots of
comments, even a dictionary definition of
"revolution" as 1. "coup d'etat" and 2. "radical"
and agreed that we do think revolutionary
thinking about national health & policy solutions!

We attempted to fill as many orders as possible
for the shorter, summary, "Improving Health: It Doesnt
Take a Revolution"  and have sent over 7000
copies out, but have a backlog. If you have ordered
a copy and havent received one, you should soon
also be able to order that online, as well, even multiple
copies at a discount.

We are pleased that PAHO/WHO is translating it into
Spanish and Portuguese via the PAHO/WHO Equity
listserve.

Thank you for your interest in this work and the books.

*************************************************************
In the early hours I read in the paper of epoch-making projects
On the part of pope and sovereigns, bankers and oil barons.
With my other eye I watch
The pot with the water for my tea
The way it clouds and starts to bubble and clears again
And overflowing the pot quenches the fire.

 -- Bertolt Brecht
