...charge the Basque group has not denied. The Afghanistan comparison seems extreme. Still, U.S., British and Colombian investigators say the El Nogal bombing has the markings of I.R.A. and ETA tutelage.

Colombia suffered a horrific rash of urban bombings just over a decade ago, when the drug lord Pablo Escobar lashed out at government efforts to rein in his cocaine cartel.

In the U.S., the demand for beluga caviar has led not just to illegal imports of what some call black gold but also to a rash of false labeling.

Variola major generally kills about 30 percent of its victims. The virus can be spread by bodily contact or by coughing...
...According to studies conducted in the 1960s, the vaccine will result in death for 1 or 2 people out of each million vaccinated. Between 15 and 52 of those million people will develop life-threatening reactions, including but not limited to high fever, rash and toxic reactions at the vaccination site. We are still using the vaccine developed in 1796; researchers are working on less risky ways to protect against smallpox, but for the time being this vaccination is the best line of defense we have...
