Exactly three weeks from today, Harvard College officially begins its winter break. Typically, these last three weeks are filled with stress. It is a time of final papers, final problems sets, final midterms and studying for finals. Sure, it's not life and death, but within the scope of an institution of higher learning, this is as high-stress as it gets. And the reward after this gauntlet just got shorter because winter break this year lasts only thirteen days...

Like its predecessor in Zaire, this outbreak has come to world attention months after it began, and only when health care workers, including foreigners, have succumbed. The full scope of the epidemic, including evidence it may also be expanding in Sudan and southward towards Uganda's capital city, Kampala, has yet to be determined. Regardless of how large its scope may be, however, the same control measures will ultimately be effective...
