Labor Pains -- clip -- As Greenhouses interviews vividly remind us, no 
economic system can prosper in the long run if people who work hard and play by 
the rules cannot meet their basic needs. The workers profiled in The Big 
Squeeze cannot afford to pay for health care or to send their children to 
decent schools. And precisely because of their precarious economic position, 
their sons and daughters are far more likely than others to go into the 
military. Six days after the subrogation order was issued against Deborah 
Shank, the family learned that their 18-year-old son, Jeremy, had been killed 
on duty with the Armys 25th Infantry Division in Iraq.
