...however, called growth “flat. Totally flat.” “People are not coming to Harvard Square to shop any more,” Cardullo said. “There’s no draw from eclectic stores.” Stephen Yoccl of Leavitt & Pearce said that his store probably suffers in competition with malls due to a lack of parking and the fact that it couldn’t hold sales. An assistant manager at Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) in Brattle Square, Kevin Walker, said that business was done very differently...

Roche spokesman Terence Hurley says that by the end of this year the Department of Health and Human Services should have in stock enough Tamiflu to treat 4.3 million people.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt wants to create a big enough stockpile to treat 20 million Americans, and about $3 billion of the $4 billion the U.S. Senate last week proposed allocating to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to prepare for bird flu is to be used to buy Tamiflu. Never mind the fact that Tamiflu is produced in only one facility...
