...Some may posit that Harvard’s 2004 regulations have resulted in a decrease in hospitalizations, even though nine were still hospitalized at last year’s Game.

Moreover, they were drawn from less than half of the country's 34 provinces. As a result, even as some observers posit a Karzai victory, it's still hard to gauge where the candidates actually stand - and the extent of the impact of the Taliban's pre-election campaign of intimidation.
