...result of stronger sunlight and warmer temperatures, could worsen respiratory illnesses. More frequent hot spells could lead to a rise in heat-related deaths. Warmer temperatures could widen the range of disease-carrying rodents and bugs, such as mosquitoes and ticks, increasing the incidence of dengue fever, malaria, encephalitis, Lyme disease and other afflictions. Worst of all, this increase in temperatures is happening at a pace that outstrips anything the earth has seen in the past 100 million years. Humans will have a hard enough time adjusting, especially in poorer countries, but for wildlife, the changes could be devastating...

More recently, fibromyalgia has been linked to chronic-fatigue syndrome and the aftereffects of Lyme disease, which in some medical circles is enough to give any ailment a bad name...
...schtick? Joe, I said, had a secret: His real name is Joseph Larchmont and he's a WASP from Old Lyme. Why did he parade around as an orthodox Jew, I asked? Because Connecticut's politics were already filled with preppies, either authentic WASPs like the Bushes or near WASPs like the Buckleys. To get ahead in the Nutmeg State, you needed an ethnic angle.
