...Still, a little more than a week after the WHO first swung into high alert, it's easy to wonder whether H1N1 might turn out to be much ado about not that much. Certainly the actions of some countries - like Egypt's impulsive move to cull some 300,000 pigs and China's apparent decision to preemptively quarantine hundreds of Mexican nationals - smack of panic. In the U.S., too, hundreds of schools have temporarily closed down because of suspected or confirmed swine flu cases, with Fort Worth, Texas, making the decision to shut down all city schools until...
...quite the stuff of dreams (especially in the early morning). That's where the House libraries come in. Many replicate a sense of history and wood-panelled beauty that was all you ever thought Harvard would be (minus the parties). Thus, without further ado, here is your guide to Harvard’s six finest House libraries (with pics) after the jump...
...Much ado has been made recently of women who choose to have cesareans, but little attention has been paid to the vast number of moms who are forced to have them. More than 9 out of 10 births following a C-section are now surgical deliveries, proving that "once a cesarean, always a cesarean"--an axiom thought to be outmoded in the 1990s--is alive and kicking.

Sure, the governor was heard talking of selling Obama's seat to the highest bidder, talking of getting Chicago Tribune editorialists fired for being too harsh on his administration and talking about trying to put the squeeze on a children's hospital and on the Tribune, which was looking...
...Obama Effect The media make much ado about the so-called Bradley effect [Nov. 3]. And it doesn't take a genius to see that John McCain and Sarah Palin have counted on this racial motivation to help them overcome the consequences of their poorly run campaign. But we must now factor in an even more potent quotient: the Obama effect - that quality whereby the more you get to know a politician, the more you like and trust him or her. Across the board, Obama's ratings have steadily increased with key groups that had been cool toward him before...
