WASHINGTON, D.C.: Flu shots may become a thing of the past thanks to an experimental influenza vaccine which can be administered as a nasal spray. After giving 1,602 children two doses of either the real vaccine or a placebo last year, doctors from the National Institutes of Health and the biotechnology firm Aviron said today that only 1 percent of the 1,070 children who received the real spray caught the flu.

...Norte were not all young. They had their elders; "Father John" was in his sixties. But whatever influence that elder had, it was not dictatorial. Police confirmed that the sixty-year old "Father John" was not one of the two who died last. Instead, President Clinton, in the usual spray of condolences, may have hit the mark when he called the suicides "so isolated that they can create a world for themselves that may justify that kind of thing." Create it they had. And each had taken his hemlock, to a degree, independently, to avail themselves of a rare opportunity...
