The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
Yesterday, the Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA)-chaired Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee held a hearing to consider Bush-nominee Dr. James Holsinger Jr. for surgeon general.
On the same day, Kennedy filed Senate Bill 1777, the Surgeon General Integrity Restoration Act. Good luck with that.
