We mourn the earthly loss of a dear senior member of our Star Trek family. Like my favorite uncle who always had me doubled over laughing . I can almost hear the angels laughing, too, as he tries out his new material on Heavenโs stage.

STEVEN ROSENBERG: THE SURGEON WHO KEPT GOING AFTER 60 FAILURES
In 1974, Steven Rosenberg, a Bronx kid whose immigrant parents ran a luncheonette, became chief of surgery at the National Cancer Institute. He was 33.
He bet the immune system could kill cancer. He gave interleukin-2 to more than 60 patients with advanced cancer. None responded. All died.
On Nov. 29, 1984, he tried the highest dose the body could take on Linda Taylor, a 33-year-old Navy officer with melanoma. She ended up on a ventilator overnight.
Months later, every tumor was gone. She stayed cancer-free for decades.
In 1992, the FDA approved IL-2 for kidney cancer. Melanoma followed in 1998.
He could have quit at 60. He didn't.

With the rise of digital technologies, such as AI, robotics, VR/AR, telemedicine, 3D-printing, portable diagnostics, or health sensors and wearables, the entire structure of healthcare, as well as the roles of patients and doctors, will fundamentally shift from the current status quo.
In the infographics below, I summarized the cornerstones of the coming changes, comparing the current, traditional healthcare system, its structure, and its roles with the modern healthcare system characterized by digital health.
My question is always the same: what have I missed?

Do not look away--this is what the USA is doing to help Putin.
On Oct. 19, a Russian strike on a Kharkiv park killed five people, including a 1-year-old girl. @CBSNews obtained photos showing air-defense radars offline that day due to SpaceXโs Starlink restrictions. Alina Spichak walked me through the last steps of her sister Yulia, who died there.

CNNโs Kaitlan Collins Prediction if the Democrats Take Back the House in November: โI donโt think that they will handle Congressional Oversight the way they did the first time, and I think that the president hated being impeached so much, even though he expects it and thinks itโll happen again this time. I think there will be way more pushback from the DOJ and from the White House, even than what we saw in the last time around.โ
โI think it will be a very different Washington, should the Democrats win and should they try to conduct these investigations, and I donโt think itโs totally clear that weโll actually see it the same way we saw the first time.โ
Kara Swisher: โSo dig in even more?โ
Kaitlan Collins: โYeah.โ
Kara Swisher: โOh, wow. Interesting because I think heโs gonna roll right over. I think heโs aโฆIโm not gonna say what I think he is, but I think heโs a bully. He gets punched in the nose and heโs gonna stop. I donโt know. Maybe not.โ
Republicans CANNOT afford to lose the House. We must win the midterms or Trumpโs presidency will completely derail โ and it will be EXTREMELY difficult to get anything done except through executive order.

Amazing. Hungarian TV also did this after Orban was gone: went off the air, came back on, admitted theyโd been telling the regimeโs lies for a decade and a half.
Will we see CBS do something similar in 2029? Will this platform someday have to do this?

Also, Russia is now a failed state that requires economic and military assistance from China and other countries. Its only "product" of success beyond fossil fuels is propaganda.
Polish FM Radosลaw Sikorski:
"There is a myth that has been successfully planted in the West that Russia always wins.
But things don't always go their way.
They lost the Crimean War. They lost the war against Japan. They emerged from World War I with their tails between their legs.
They lost the invasion of Poland. They lost Afghanistan. And they lost the Cold War.
So things can turn out very differently." - @sikorskiradek

- Kyrylo Budanov ๐บ๐ฆ:
" The Russians are beginning to understand that their army is not that strong, that their air defense systems are not that good, and that the Russian army is actually not capable of protecting the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territory.
This is not at all the second army in the world, and not even the fourth. And the reckoning will come.โ
โThe understanding that there will be retribution comes to people when they personally begin to see and feel that the war is not somewhere in some part of the world, but on their own territory. Therefore, the turning point has already begun.โ
..........
Russians are losing....

I write about some of the painful consequences of getting too close to a source and how it changed my approach to reporting.
