Unfortunately, the debate over chronic Lyme has become so heated that no one expects the controversy to go away.

After studying 482 subjects bitten by deer ticks in a part of New York with a lot of Lyme disease, researchers concluded that a single 200-mg dose of doxycycline dramatically cut the risk of contracting the disease.

Others tittered at the earnest efforts to be civilized in the Western manner. Pierre Loti, the French author of Madame Chrysanthemum, likened the Deer Cry Pavilion to a second-rate casino in a French hot-springs resort, and the dancing, well: "They danced quite properly, my Japanese in Parisian gowns. But one senses that it is something drilled into them, that they perform like automatons, without any personal initiative. If by chance they lose the beat, they have...
