States would take the lead in controlling health care costs under plan unveiled by Democrats
FILE - This March 11, 2009 file photo shows Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel speaking at the American Medical Association's annual conference in Washington.

Obama's argument for authority to act on deportations has some rock 'n' roll roots
FILE - In this Aug. 1, 2014, file photo, President Barack Obama speaks in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington. The argument over Obama’s legal authority to defer deportations begins 42 years ago with a bit of hashish, a dogged lawyer and, yes, John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Lennon was in New York facing deportation from a Nixon administration eager to disrupt the ex-Beatle’s planned concert tour and voter registration drive. The case hinged on Lennon’s 1968 conviction for possession of cannabis resin in London. Lennon ultimately succeeded. The case’s legacy is an integral part of the legal foundation Obama relied on in 2012 to set up a program that has deferred the deportation of more than 580,000 immigrants who entered the country illegally as children.

Ex-first lady depicts unpopular French president as cruel and dishonest in new book
A man picks up a copy of former French first lady Valerie Trierweiler's book "Thank You for this Moment", in a Paris bookstore, France, Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014. The former companion of French President Francois Hollande writes in a book that the Socialist presents himself as someone who doesn't like the rich, but in fact "doesn't like the poor." The couple broke up in January amid reports Hollande was having an affair with actress Julie Gayet. The book risks further damaging the image of the already deeply unpopular president even though the French had little love for Trierweiler, who couldn't find her place as first lady.
