Swine flu has claimed its first casualty at Stanford: Full Moon on the Quad, an illustrious tradition dating back to the late 19th century, where seniors make out with freshmen under the first full moon of the year.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack "in the strongest terms," and the U.N. Security Council did the same, reaffirming its support for AMISOM. But even if the peacekeepers sitting in Mogadishu ever get word of that support, they probably won't think too highly of it. According to its mission statement, AMISOM is supposed to be preparing the way for the introduction of a U.N. peacekeeping force into the country...
