...medical statisticians insist that it is not yet an epidemic because not enough people have sickened and died to meet that criterion. This is no comfort to the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have been laid low with influenza. No words and no wonder drugs help to lower the initial fever, ease the aching head and bones, stop the hacking cough and make rubbery legs feel strong again. Dr. Donald O.

"The thing I was objecting to," he says, "is that someone picked a mandatory point. Age isn't a very good criterion." After reading the story, one of his former bosses offered him what might have seemed like a dream deal: a four-month consultancy at the company's Venezuelan plant.
