Stretching out before her is a vast panorama of blackened slopes, a grim legacy of the fire last August that burned more than 150,000 acres of the Sequoia National Forest.

"CpG could end up being as efficient as lighting candles in church," he says. According to Titball, one drawback to the CpG nose spray is that the protective effect starts to wear off after two weeks, so vaccines are still considered the most important defense against bioterrorism. So darpa and Porton Down are also applying Coley's CpG to improve the anthrax vaccine currently used to innoculate U.S. troops. That drug requires...
