Magnified 100,000 times, the organisms are fuzzy little balls that fill the screen and look like the burrs that stick to your pants during a hike through the woods. You can just make out tiny hooks poking out of the spherical bodies--a telltale characteristic that helps classify the pathogen as a member of the coronavirus family. And while coronaviruses normally cause nothing more serious than a cold, the microbes on Nicholls' slide have evidently, for reasons researchers have yet to discover, mutated into a sometimes deadly infectious agent that has terrified the entire planet...
...Increasingly, high-end tour operators are finding ways to smooth some of the Mongolia experience's rough edges. 4th World has built modernist wooden lodges at Lake Hovsgol, where guests spending about $100 a day can hike and mountain bike and then unwind with some imported wine, barbecued local mutton and a dip in a hot tub powered by a wood fire. Nomadic Expeditions has built a lodge in the Gobi Desert. And while there's really no way to catch the feel of Mongolia's big sky other than by driving for days beneath it, Nomadic Expeditions offers...

The state should continue to ensure the commitment to provide affordable education for all students without placing an undue burden...
...choices this year. And in an upending of conventional politics, it's the Republicans who are leading the way to higher taxes. Within two days of being sworn in last month as Georgia's first G.O.P. Governor since Reconstruction, Sonny Perdue proposed one of the state's biggest tax hikes ever. Though he backed off when legislators balked, other Republican Governors are forging ahead. Connecticut's John Rowland, elected as a tax cutter in 1994, began his third term by proposing a 1% income-tax surcharge on millionaires. G.O.P. Governors are also pushing new taxes in Idaho, Arkansas, Ohio...
