...healthy teenage girl from Milwaukee who had caught H1N1 in the spring and died. The group reacted with intense discomfort and then did what humans do: they looked for a way to fit it into one of the boxes in their mind. Some speculated that the girl's doctor must have made a mistake and that's why she died.

...billion is on the way through pledges made by the Friends of Democratic Pakistan, a consortium of allies, which will meet in New York next week with Obama, President Asif Ali Zardari and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown in attendance. In terms of metrics, achieving global consensus that Pakistan must be stabilized is an easy goal to reach. Making something of the consensus, however, requires more cash and development thrown in the right direction...
