In theory, a family with a high-deductible plan … will scrutinize the cost and quality of health-care options before deciding whether to use them. In practice, health care consumerism doesn't always play out at the bedside in ways that promote savvy medical decisions.

In the hushed silence of the remodeled David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, the chaos and vitriol of political campaigns past come alive. Campaign memorabilia, memos and flyers dating back to 1840 -- including some from the Whig and Know-Nothing parties -- are among the more than 3,000 items in this diverse collection assembled by library staff.
In their latest discussion, foreign affairs experts Peter Feaver and Bruce Jentleson examine whether President Obama was correct in staying in Cuba rather than returning home to the United States following the terror attack in Brussels. They also look at the global threat posed by ISIS.
Duke lecturer and international trade attorney Scott Lincicome explains why some politicians are wrong and economists are right when it comes to free trade.
