...relatively stable rates of infection in people ages 55 and older, but that data relies on self-reporting, and in many parts of the country it is out of step with what physicians are seeing.

Bush, which many believe was the most significant decision legally this term because the court declared the unconstitutionality of President Bush and Congress' scheme for handling Guantanamo Bay prisoners during a time of heightened national security concerns. ("It was a reasonably big slam," says Epstein.) Kennedy also authored the child rape case banning...
