Hancock officials celebrate the designation recognizing the role the town had in history. HANCOCK, Mass. — During the American Revolution, famed French general the Marquis de Lafayette played a significant role as an ally of the rebellious colonies. So much so that President James Monroe invited him on a farewell tour of the nation in 1824, celebrating the country's 50th birthday. Lafayette traveled all 24 of the United States, including going directly across the Berkshires on his way to Boston. Now, the Berkshires have recognized his contributions by designating the trail he took from Hancock to Hinsdale on his way back Boston with an official 1 Comment

Let's Reverse the Rural Physician ShortageBy Lia Spiliotes,
10:17AM / Monday, July 15, 2019 | |

Data show that by 2030, the United States will face a primary care physician shortfall as high as 49,300. Only 25 percent of medical school graduates enter the primary care field; many head straight to higher-paid medical specialties.
In rural regions, this looming physician shortage is already hurting patients. A new poll by Harvard, NPR, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that one-quarter of those surveyed had trouble accessing

We just can't go back to the Middle Ages. I'd look terrible in a monk habit.

If it comes in the form of an entertaining film like director Danny Boyle's 0 Comments
