...with an ordinary flu virus in the body of some unlucky person infected with both. That has not happened yet, and until it does, there can be no pandemic. ? Much has been made of the virulence and lethality of the avian-flu virus, but new findings suggest that mild and asymptomatic infections in humans may have gone unnoticed; the virus may turn out to be far less deadly than we have been led to believe.

However, a fourth place finish in the 60 meter hurdles was followed by a pulled hamstring in the 60 meter dash. “The preliminary report is that it’s a mild pull,” Haggerty said. “Hopefully she’ll be back by the end of the month.” Harvard had just one double-winner during the afternoon, as captain Laura Maludzinski finished first in both the 800 meters and the mile with times...
