Comment on: Cigna employee seeks $100m in discrimination suit

Comment on: 'Surge in marrow testing probed'

Comment on: 'SJC statement on Probation report '
You're wrong. Judges are hired by merit and work very hard, not by kickback for no-show jobs. Most judges would make far more in private practice, but they sacrafice for the public. more »

Comment on: 'Military families sue insurer over payments of death benefits'
Crafty and Sly 1, I repeat - what's your alternative? Should Prudential drop off a bag of cash? or a check? And wash their hands of any problems the beneficiary might have? Many people just aren't pre more »
