Some things I have my eye on this morning...

1. Eugene Robinson says that the hysteria about health care is the result of conflating the two issues of health care reform - universal access and cost control.  Robinson argues that universal access is a moral obligation that must be addressed separately from fiscal concerns.
2. Bob Herbert takes a look at the numbers behind the recent unemployment data and concludes that America's economic problems are far from over.
3. The New York Times remembers Eunice Kennedy Shriver: "When the full judgment of the Kennedy legacy is made...the changes wrought by Eunice Shriver may well be seen as the most consequential."
4. Princeton economist Alan Blinder defends the economic stimulus plan, saying the president must "stay the course."
5. Kimberly Kagan declares that the Taliban is winning in Afghanistan and examines 5 flaws in US strategy in the region.
