...Department of Agriculture (USDA) banned Canadian beef in May after mad-cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), turned up in a single calf there. Now it is America's turn. More than 30 countries have banned U.S. beef imports since BSE was detected in a slaughtered 6-year-old dairy cow in Washington State on Dec. 23. Though officials say the cow entered from Canada in 2001, the USDA last week instituted a series of measures to reassure consumers that American beef is safe, including a ban on the slaughter of cattle too sick or injured to walk, called...
...George and Tony Show Re J.F.O. McAllister's article anticipating problems that might arise during President Bush's state visit to Britain [Nov. 17]: While Bush visited London, I marched through Edinburgh with thousands of fellow protesters. This nonviolent demonstration was antiwar, not anti-American.

The latter's ability to be guarded and upgraded on the fly by a universe of programmers offers some protection against the megaviruses. Linux's tamper resistance is one reason governments...
...reached nearly 10 years ago, but unionists tend to discount the diffuse benefits against those memorable hiccups. In Paisley, the skeptics have their champion. He is easily the most formidable character in Ulster religion and politics. Republicans, he says, want to "freeze us out or push us out or slaughter us or poison the water so we'd drink and die." Not all unionists go along with the high-octane language, but as many as two-thirds agree when Paisley says the power-sharing agreement "totally, utterly and abysmally failed." Paisley's able deputy, Peter Robinson, has reshaped the party...
