...This bug has gone from 0 to 60, not in five seconds but in about five years," says Elizabeth Bancroft, a medical epidemiologist at the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services.

...is 36, single, broad shouldered and thin, like a martini glass. He has made a new life for himself in Spokane, Wash.--where he has been stashed by the FBI's witness-protection program--running a doughnut shop and selling weed and credit-card numbers on the side.

He found a 1991 Boston Globe article, "Harvard Business School on a High School Diploma," that described cases...
...With its gorgeous image-making, Vula is a sensual antidote to the geopolitical seriousness of much of the 2006 Biennale of Sydney, which opened last week. While the piece hovers between theater and dance, it fits in perfectly with artistic director Charles Merewether's "Zones of Contact" theme, which seeks to introduce audiences to world cultures not often presented in a contemporary-art context.
