...unusually high this year. UHS, with its roughly 8,400 doses of the vaccine, announced that it will not vaccinate otherwise healthy students in the foreseeable future. No doubt, healthy Harvardians will survive the flu, and it is perfectly reasonable that no young adult be vaccinated until each elder, infant, and invalid has been protected—groups for whom the flu could be a death sentence...
ELTON JOHN is starting to remind us of that curmudgeonly relative who blurts out what everyone else is really thinking at the family reunion. While accepting a songwriting award in London last week, the elder rocker, 57, griped that he couldn't believe Madonna had been nominated for best live act. "Since when has lip synching been live?" John asked. "Madonna, best [expletive] live act? [Expletive] off." Last month John called a group of Taiwanese paparazzi who ambushed him "rude, vile pigs."

A top aide reported it would "sometimes take three days to get in touch with Saddam," even in periods of crisis. At one point during...
...puts it, “it feels like one of our movies” and audiences should respond. Indeed, as South Park continues to get smarter and quicker, Parker and Stone—a couple of former waterheads from the University of Colorado—have accidentally become the elder wisemen of our time. Despite the TV show’s superficially immature bag of jokes, the American public—or at least the young, loud left—has more or less come to realize that the show’s creators are straight shooters when it comes...
