Although the purpose of vaccination against German, or "three-day," measles is to protect pregnant women for the sake of the unborn, the plan is not to vaccinate women.* Instead, public health officials hope to stamp out rubella by vaccinating children; thus, as they put it, "drying up the reservoir" of susceptible subjects who spread the infection. Some time in their lives, most adults have had a touch of rubella with no ill effects, and are now immune...
Jealously guarding her "daughter," the prostitute begins a battle with Albert for possession of the child. But Cenci is possessed already-by demonic fantasies. Playing the two adults off against each other, she speaks to a nonexistent lover, fakes a rape scene and pretends to be pregnant by stuffing security toys under her dress.

Cracked Carson: "She wasn't even pregnant when she got on." Flying through the Washington-Chicago-New York area known as the Golden Triangle has not yet reached that extreme. Still, delays have become so bad that the Federal Aviation Administration last week proposed limits on traffic at major airports in the triangle to make air travel more manageable. The rules are meant to cut down...
