...scheme fail on its fifth time out? The first sign that something was up was the improbable amount of blood that an otherwise chipper-looking Williams spat out after his "injury" - the fake blood capsule released a volume of crimson so spectacular, it could choke a member of Kiss. Also, TV commentators covering the match live noted suspiciously that the injury had befallen Williams at the very moment the Harlequins needed a crack kicker to take the penalty.

...There are still hurdles. In Mali, where more than one in five children never see their fifth birthday, the government has finally added zinc to its annual list of 100 essential drugs, clearing the way for much wider distribution of the tablets. But only a few villages have received zinc tablets so far - and those have all come through the Save the Children U.S. program, whose funding expires next year, according to Tom McCormack, the organization's representative in Mali. Even though it has virtually no money to train health workers, Mali's government remains deeply reluctant to allow uneducated...
