Some of the concern arises from diseases that pose just as big a threat here at home. And that brings us back to influenza, which can be found all over the world in all seasons, and can be deadly for older travelers, in particular. Nurse Patricia Davenport, a travel medicine specialist at Harris Methodist HEB Hospital in Bedford, Texas, recommends that older travelers make sure they get a flu shot every year...
Eliot's 32 point total won the field events yesterday with Loren MacKinney coming in first in both the high and low hurdles and Frymark winning the 100. Winthrop's Kohr took first in both the discus and shot, teammate Davenport won the hammer, McKechnie made the best time in the 220, and John Sopka was second to none in both the 440 and broad jump...
...like a painting, or at least a good one, Soth's photographs have layered meanings. At first glance his picture of Sugar's, a place in Davenport, Iowa, appears to show a room where everything--the upholstered chair, the thick synthetic pile of the carpet, the strident green walls--reaches toward some misconstrued and imperfectly realized ideal of home.

So Chevalier's new best seller, The Lady and the Unicorn, features Nicolas des Innocents...
...such savvy operatives as Michael Whouley, who ran Al Gore's ground game. He has fired his campaign manager, installed some Teddy Kennedy hands at the top and on Saturday brought out Kennedy (who finished second in the 1980 Iowa caucuses, challenging Jimmy Carter) to campaign with him in Davenport, Dubuque and Cedar Rapids. Kerry's speeches have become shorter and more passionate. For Kerry, Iowa seemed to ignite the fire in his belly while getting him to jettison the drowsy Senate-speak he was using only a few months ago. Public polls have moved a bit, and the internal...
