Doctors banned from practice elsewhere land jobs with state Health department hires pair with history of drug abuse amid provider shortage By Patrick Malone The New Mexican
They lied, stole and ultimately confessed to felonies committed to satisfy their drug addictions that in other states cost them the privilege of
practicing medicine. The federal government even banned the two doctors from billing for Medicaid services because of their crimes. But in New Mexico, Drs. Ralph Hansen and Keith Levitt have found welcoming homes and a revival of
their careers. The state government, fully aware of the doctors’ pasts, gave them supervisory jobs with the agency that provides and oversees care of indigent patients.

By Jim Yardley The New York Times
VATICAN CITY — Pope John XXIII was the rotund Italian pontiff with a common touch, who told jokes, embraced the poor and became beloved as “the Good Pope.” To many liberal Catholics, he is still revered for the Second Vatican Council, the landmark event of the 1960s that sought to move the Roman Catholic Church into the modern age. Pope John Paul II was the charismatic Polish pontiff who liked to sneak away from the Vatican to ski and who retooled the papacy in a new era of globalized media. His vision of a more rigid Catholicism made him a revered figure among many conservative Catholics suspicious of the liberalizing spirit introduced by John XXIII. “The man who took the lid off and the man who tried to put it back on,” said Eamon Duffy, a professor of the his-

tory of Christianity at the University of Cambridge. Now a new pope, Francis, is making his most public attempt to sew together the two men’s different legacies as he pushes his own vision of a church under a big tent. Francis will preside Sunday over a first-of-its-kind joint canonization of the former popes, both iconic figures in the 20thcentury church who will be elevated to sainthood during a Mass at St. Peter’s Square. For Francis, who has spent the first year of his papacy straddling the divisions within the church, this twinning allows him to deftly avoid elevating one man over the other and serves his broader agenda of de-emphasizing ideological battles as he tries to renew excitement among the faithful and reverse a steady decline in church attendance. “The Catholic Church is big enough to encompass

luxury home for sale just off Old Taos Highway on Santa Fe’s north side has its own website. Buyers, especially those who might be a continent away, can peruse dozens of high-quality photographs of the 3,900-square-foot main house and 1,300-square-foot guesthouse and take a video tour of the 1.2-acre property. There’s also an aerial image from Google. But the website now includes highdefinition video recorded by a camera mounted on a remote-controlled unmanned aircraft — commonly known as a drone. The video gives potential buyers a bird’s-eye view of the property, which is on the market for $1.3 million. Using drones to sell high-end houses is the latest trend in the real estate industry. Agents across the country are adopting the newest technology to differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack. Homeowner Hal Wingo, former senior editor of Life magazine and co-founder of People, hopes the drone photography will attract a buyer. He and his wife, Paula, are decamping to warmer climes after more than eight years in Santa Fe.

WASHINGTON — A White House review of how the government and private sector use large sets of data has found that such information could be used to discriminate against Americans on issues such as housing and employment even as it makes their lives easier in many ways.

“Big data” is everywhere. It allows mapping apps to ping cellphones anonymously and determine, in real time, what roads are the most congested. But it also can be used to target economically vulnerable people. The issue came up during a 90-day review ordered by President Barack Obama, White House counselor John Podesta said in an interview with The Associated Press. Podesta did not discuss all the findings, but said the potential for discrimination is an issue that warrants a closer look.
