Dylan’s true disasters, like political putsches or catastrophic weather systems, draw a bewildering sort of fascination—think “Dylan & The Dead,” his born-again Christian phase, or the infamous “Self Portrait”—that this album never inspires in the listener.

Rosenthal ’59 sent out a community advisory yesterday, informing students via e-mail that there were two confirmed cases of swine...

"As long as we get the genetic sequence of some viral proteins, it doesn't matter where the virus came from - human, swine or bird," says Singhvi. So far, Novavax's shot is still in the testing phase, but its VLP-based vaccines against seasonal and bird flu are providing good results.
