 AEGiS-LT: LOS ANGELES TIMES INTERVIEW: Donna Shalala - The Administration's Point Woman at Health and Human Services

Instead, Shalala has bluntly urged her former colleagues on the Democratic Party's left to recognize the new realities of fiscal tightness and the need to reform programs, such as welfare, that have lost public support.
