...Cambodian border, where a border dispute simmers near an ancient temple complex. In the country's largely Muslim south, a campaign of separatist violence claimed more than a dozen victims in September; this year's death toll in the restive region has already reached around 350 and, if the pace of killings continues, the 2009 count will top last year's figure. Little wonder, then, that the country's revered 81-year-old King Bhumibol Adulyadej - whose hospitalization on Sept. 19 for fever and fatigue only added to Thailand's overall sense of unease - cautioned in August that if national...

Then Kenyan officials blamed U.S. ambassador Michael Ranneberger, who was given the task of announcing that the letters were sent. Ranneberger was summoned to a meeting...
Dartmouth seems to be right on pace with Harvard. They just started school because of their quarter system, but they diagnosed 47 new cases of influenza-like illness last week, only three fewer than Harvard. And if swine flu has advanced to the backwoods of Hanover, New Hampshire, all we at FlyBy can do is cross our fingers and use Harvard’s hand sanitizers...
