Two Wands, One Nation: An Essay on Race and Community in America
Minority underperformance is an unfortunate reality of American society, as shown by social indicators and discussed by a wide array of commentators. However, when it comes to discussing the problem, we have no common vocabulary, and the explanation often turns to racism and discrimination. In this essay, former Colorado governor Richard D. Lamm examines the reality of minority underperformance as an issue having its roots in the communities and mores where the problem is most prevalent. In the process, he discusses the dangers of too much diversity in a democracy and examines the social, economic, and demographic ramifications of the issues on our society.

 Long a target of policymakers and reformers, the current American health care system is, in the words of Richard D. Lamm, "unsustainable, unaffordable, and inequitable, and needs to be substantially amended and revised." In this informed and erudite look at the current state of the American health care system, Lamm exposes the problems existing not only in policy and professional circles, but also in public attitudes and expectations. In so doing, Lamm provides a framework for reform, seeking to rebuild the "house of health care" that has fallen into disrepair. Order Here
