That kind of fine-tuning necessarily makes the immune system complicated--but to understand the vaccination revolution, you first have to understand the complications. The simplest immune reaction--triggered by a mosquito bite, for example, or an allergen--is inflammation. When the insect bites, the immune system uses cellular troops that have had no special training. Cells called leukocytes, neutrophils and mast cells routinely cruise the bloodstream sniffing for an unfamiliar chemical signature. If they find it, they signal for reinforcements that swarm to kill the invader--the equivalent of an infantry attack...
Sept. 11 is partly to blame.

And more than a few forecasters - seeing disappointing corporate earnings, still-shell-shocked capital spenders and languid consumer demand - are predicting just that...
Barking dogs never bite takes a simple premise and lets it off its leash. A dog is man's best friend, we tend to believe. Here, they are one man's worst enemy.
