...plans to begin animal-testing some of the most effective compounds soon. But the real value of the study is the clearer picture it offers of the SARS virus and the blueprint it provides for research responses to any future emerging diseases, like avian flu. "We can react more rapidly, and we can find new drugs that specifically target the disease," Kao says. "If there's a new virus, we can jump onto this...
Adomanis’ final “lesson” is that we need to react early to small threats before they grow into apocalyptic battles for civilization, by which he seems to mean that the feudal states of Europe should have built a proto-alliance (of the willing) to hunt out the Ottomans when they were still just Balkan colonists.

While the Turks were still raiding the Anatolian steppe, few, if any, Europeans would ever have guessed that not only would they eventually conquer the “Second Rome,” a city which legend said would never be conquered, but that they...
