Months before each flu season, scientists must guess which strains will be most active and then tailor a vaccine to combat them. Sometimes their forecast is wrong, and the vaccine is virtually useless. In 1976, for example, the anticipated swine-flu epidemic never materialized...

But that forecast, like an earlier one predicting a national dump site by 1998, proved too rosy. Last week energy officials pushed back the opening to at least...
