Today's front page of the newspaper is a perfect example of budgeting imbalances in the world. Millions are spent on TV shows, while researchers are developing ways to utilize vinegar to treat cancer in Thailand because many people are unable to afford traditional cancer treatments. Many of the stories on the front page highlight the lack of necessary funds internationally: "Spending Deal Sidesteps Fight on Disaster Aid"; "Deep Recession Sharply Altered U.S. Jobless Map"; and "Fighting Cancer With Vinegar and Ingenuity". On the lower section of the page, two stories show a waste of money: "In North Dakota, Flames of Wasted Natural Gas Light the Prairie"; and "Hollywood's Blockbuster Style Splashes Onto the TV Screen."
The delayed lede of the "Cancer" article caught my attention and made me want to continue reading to learn more. This story provided great descriptions of personal life and of scientific explanations. The writer ended with a strong quote, showing the impact that this research and treatment has had upon women.
