U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher (top): "There
are far too many children in this country who are
not getting a healthy start in life." Satcher, who
received an honorary degree from the BU School of
Medicine on September 18, talked about increasing
the quality of health care for Americans,
especially minorities and children. A former
director of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, Satcher became surgeon general in
February. Below, BUSM students line up for the
