History of American Births

Check out "The Score" from the Annals of Medicine in the New Yorker. I really enjoy the New Yorker for it's longer feature pieces, and the science ones are always wonderful. This one gets the double whammy of important by virtue of its author; Atul Gawande is a medical doctor and a science writer. If his skills in surgery are even half as good as his writing, I'd put my life in his hands.
