      <![CDATA[Well, I thank Style. Whether reporting about baseball stadiums, or healthcare, Richmond City Hall Politics,  the disastrous Richmond public schools administration, disability rights, the foibles of the so-called "Power List," or the mysterious mishaps of the Black Dog, one can always count on Style to take the side of the average citizen just trying to make sense of the whole mess.

      <![CDATA[Dear Colleagues:<br><br>We are writing to you about an article in this week&apos;s Style Weekly that is critical of how the VCU Health System manages medical care for indigent patients. The publication took a complicated issue and handled it superficially, anecdotally and in some cases, inaccurately.<br><br>Style Weekly mistakenly characterized funding that the VCU Health System receives from state and federal sources for indigent care as a pool of money from which we distribute as we see fit.
