...debate surfaced in another form when Jimmy Carter, speaking in Manchester' N.H., voiced vast concern about the state of the American family reciting a litany of despair on divorce, delinquency, illegitimate births, venereal disease and other scourges.

Swine flu may also be related to the flu that killed over half a million Americans in 1918-19 (see box). Some felt that the rapid onset of the Legionnaires' disease was typical of flu.
