A Fat Tax for America? 向胖人征税？If a new idea in America becomes a law, people who suffer from obesity could suffer financially too.The US state of Arizona wants to charge overweight citizens $50 (325 Yuan) annually if they fail to follow their doctors' advice. People with children or who are overweight because they suffer from a medical condition would be exempt. If the idea is approved by Congress, smokers and diabetics who fail to stick to a healthy lifestyle will also have to pay.Medicaid, the organisation which provides healthcare to the poor in the USA, costs the government $339bn (2.2 trillion Yuan) a year. Monica Coury, assistant director at Arizona's Medicaid programme, said that this proposal would ask people to give something back.She said that Arizona would take a carrot and stick approach to the problem. As well as penalising people who go against their doctor's wishes, incentives would be offered for following advice, possibly a keep-fit video.Arizona's senator Kyrsten Sinema has not backed the plans, saying that there isn't a system to decide whether someone is or isn't following medical advice. Other critics claim that people don't need the government to look after them; if they want to be fat and smoke, the 'nanny state' shouldn't try to stop them. Wes Benedict of the Libertarian Party said:"If you want to save the state money... cut Medicaid across the board, but don't single out overweight people and smokers."最伟大的魔术师The Greatest MagicianEdinburgh has been remembering one of the world's greatest magicians.

But on 9 May 1911 something went horribly wrong. Halfway through his routine, a gas lamp was knocked over and the stage scenery caught fire. The audience all thought it was part of the act and refused to leave the theatre until the band played the national anthem.Lafayette died along with 10 other people, a horse and the famous lion. But he continued to play tricks on people even after his death.Three days after the fire, another body was discovered in the theatre wearing Lafayette's clothes. This, it emerged, was the magician himself; the first body had been that of an assistant.One hundred years on, the great magician continues to work his magic.
