	Doctors Without Borders
		Doctors Without Borders is extremely concerned that the minimum standards for the assistance and protection of refugees have been ignored for the Kosovo refugees.
		Recently at the border in Blace, when refugees were put into buses and transported away, there was no permanent UNHCR presence to monitor the number and destination of buses or refugees.
		Without registered names, the numbers of refugees are easy to manipulate and assistance is difficult to monitor.

	"Doctors Without Borders" by Shannon Brownlee
		After waiting five months for their letter to appear, the doctors went to The New York Times with their story--a move that sparked a furor in academic circles, and offered the public yet another glimpse into conflict of interest, one of the most contentious and bitter debates in medicine.
		Pharmaceutical companies begin wooing young doctors with small tokens at first, pens and coffee mugs emblazoned with drug logos, then escalating to pizza night for medical residents, dinners at expensive restaurants and tickets to sporting events.
		Besides, a few lectures can't outweigh the message young doctors absorb every day, as they watch the icons in their profession--their professors, visiting lecturers, heads of departments--taking gifts, speaking on behalf of companies, flying first-class to medical meetings in Paris and Honolulu.
