...Shingles occurs when the chicken-pox virus from a childhood infection is reactivated--usually by the decline in immunity that comes with age--and travels from the nerve cells where it has remained dormant, all the way to the skin, where it blossoms into the condition's hallmark lesions. Zostavax contains a crippled form of the chicken pox's varicella zoster virus, and jump-starts the body's immune system, boosting the defense cells specifically designed to attack varicella. In trials with nearly 40,000 subjects, the vaccine reduced rash and pain from shingles by more than 60% in elderly...
...We’ve got to make [the art] accessible to everyone [in the interim],” says Abrahams. “For example, right now, it’s hard to use the Sackler collections for study because of space limitations. Accessibility is a hallmark, a key word of this project.”Even though the rest of the art will move to an office building in Allston, Manoogian insists that the move there has already received tremendous support. “The interim site is not going to be a warehouse.

The self-confidence that was once the hallmark of Western civilization is gone, replaced by fears of “cultural imperialism” and other such nonsense. Nationalism has been discredited, communism has failed, and religious faith has been publicly ridiculed down to the level of superstition or mental illness, leaving virtually nothing except self-indulgence as a philosophy or a worldview. This purposelessness is the primary...
...years, shopping on Chicago's State Street meant one thing: Marshall Field's, the hallmark department store that has stood at that address since the White Sox were the White Stockings. Come September, the store's new parent, Federated Department Stores, will rechristen it Macy's, and loyal Marshall Field's customers are both angry and genuinely sad. "For some chain to come into Chicago and think we're New York is totally misguided," says June Cuci, 48, who has been shopping at Field's since her childhood. Even film critic Roger Ebert lamented the loss. "I thought...
