Healthcare stocks performing well
San Francisco Chronicle, August 26, 2008

Over the past three months, healthcare companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 are up 4.4% on average, compared with a drop of 7.9% for the overall index. The strength in healthcare follows several years of underperformance.
