...your album like they have? No. One never expects things like that. They just happen, which is very nice. I certainly didn't expect it to go to No. 1. I thought the songs were suitable for that time and that there would be new songs that would come along to take their place...
...asterisks help explain why, in October, the government will ask more of the public. The CDC, along with state and local health officials, will launch the most ambitious mass-vaccination campaign in U.S. history. This will be a new vaccine since the regular vaccine for seasonal flu will offer no protection against H1N1. But because it is being produced exactly like the seasonal-flu vaccine that manufacturers make every year, it is relatively predictable.

...Democrats in both 2010 and 2012. Even while some pundits say the GOP will end up looking obstructionist, Republicans are quick to point out that the bulk of the bill - the exchange, which will help small businesses and the 47 million people who are uninsured buy affordable insurance, along with subsidies to help those who can't afford it and new regulations of insurers' practices - wouldn't go into effect until 2013 (this is partly because of the complexity of setting up such a monumental enterprise and partly to help lessen the 10-year cost of the bill).

One participant told TIME that attacking security services had to retreat on multiple occasions due to organized resistance by the crowds, and eventually the police, in resignation, simply directed the march along its route. Once again, the Green Movement's supporters partly consisted of religious and poorer individuals, in addition to the more well-off protesters from north Tehran. One witness spoke of seeing an elderly chador-clad woman holding a large green banner prominently adorned with a picture of Ayatullah Khomeini...
