The WHO estimates that nationally reported (but often unvalidated) malaria cases account for just 40% of the global estimate; the other 60% comes from "detective...

For example, in the rancorous 2004 Presidential election, the same false rumor that a candidate had mistakenly quoted the Biblical verse John 16:3 as his favorite Bible passage - thus revealing hypocrisy about his being a believer - circulated about both John Kerry...
...used copies of a textbook alongside online vendors’ prices, and listed prices will now include shipping and handling. UC members, including UC President Matthew L. Sundquist ’09, said that if the arrangement proves successful, it will insure that Crimson Reading will continue to exist as its founders leave the UC and Harvard. “No one who was around for the start of the Crimson Reading will be here in a year or two,” said UC secretary Maia Usui ’11.
