Please don't mistake my argument for a Gingrich-esque nostalgic diatribe. Nor do I mean to present an overly romanticized portrait of Main Street USA complete with smiling postman and a penny candy store.

If we are not careful, gossipy barber shops and other Main Street institutions will find themselves relegated to historical theme parks...

Human trials are planned for later this year, with results expected in two or three years at the earliest. Even if those trials are successful, the main use of an anti-flu pill will probably be preventative. Although you can be sick for several weeks fighting off the effects of the flu, the virus itself only exists in the body for up to the first six days, meaning that you would have to take the pill...
...since offered continued negotiations with the opposition on replacing the country's current interior minister, and TIME's Theodor Troev reports from Sofia that several Socialist leaders have already proposed passing their governing mandate to the opposition party, possibly to form a coalition government. Ivan Kostov, head of the main opposition, said his party would end its 21/2-week boycott of parliament in hope of a compromise. "If there is the will and consensus, Parliament can endorse in a short term the necessary laws, and early elections can be called." Kostov said. But impatient leaders of Bulgaria's three major trade...
