...free, the campaign will not be easy: last year only 40% of the U.S. population took the time to get a regular flu shot. And the H1N1 vaccine is going to require some commitment. Officials say health workers will need to administer at least two shots in the arm spaced four weeks apart before the end of the year. (See TIME's health and medicine covers...
...Deutsche Bank report adds another wrinkle. So far, the highest rates of underwater borrowers have been found among those people with subprime, Alt-A and option-ARM loans. These loans, often sold to people with low credit scores or those stretching to afford a house, were largely peddled at the height of the boom and therefore often correspond to home prices that had nowhere to go but down.

...However, the government would almost certainly need to renegotiate its $6.3 billion agreement to reimburse the Dutch and British who had accounts with Icesave, the internet arm of the now-defunct Landsbanki, which collapsed last October.

But their scenes together cast a lingering spell...

When the research arm of the vaunted financial giant asked the 15-year-old Brit to explain exactly how teenagers are using all these shiny new gadgets like cell phones, video games and the Internet, Robson gave them a concise summary that's impressive coming from a teen - but not exactly groundbreaking. Except, perhaps, to the financial set: an inexplicably enthused Morgan Stanley published Robson's anecdotes online under the lofty title...
