Science News / Florence Nightingale: The Passionate Statistician: "When Florence Nightingale arrived at a British hospital in Turkey during the Crimean War, she found a nightmare of misery and chaos.

Great article on the usefulness of properly presented mathematics. Love the "coxcomb" graphs in this context.
