...Prompt action by local health authorities can nip an outbreak in the bud, saving lives and billions of dollars. "When you confront new diseases and they begin to travel widely, you have to do everything you can to try to stop the transmission," says World Health Organization (WHO) spokesman Dick Thompson. "Maximum efforts in the beginning are justified." Although doctors and scientists decline to point fingers, it's increasingly clear that the Hong Kong government failed to recognize the potential threat when SARS first surfaced and downplayed its impact to avoid panic and bad publicity.

...first glance, Pforzheimer’s Meat Locker doesn’t seem like a mecca for Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The walls are laden with cutouts from 30-pack cases of Pabst, Rolling Rock and Bud Light.

Instead, he copped to betting on other sports and accepted his banishment for life. That "for life" part has struck some baseball fans...
...other side is Strom Thurmond. He will nip this sudden surge of Democracy in the bud. Jack Robinson will go back to the Negro Leagues and his Georgia homestead. Currently the support for Thurmond appears strong only in the Great States of South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi, but we must correct for this by delivering Massachusetts and all of New England as well...
