...former health professionals in China revealed to TIME that authorities were suppressing the number of suspected cases and had ordered doctors to adhere to requirements for diagnosing SARS that are more stringent than those applied anywhere else in the world. As TIME reported in its April 28 issue, state-run hospitals in Beijing moved dozens of SARS patients out of wards just before WHO inspectors arrived. In one situation, 31 patients at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital were loaded into ambulances and taken for a tour of the capital; WHO experts who visited the hospital were then told...
...Despite the potential rivalry between al-Khoei and al-Hakim, the slain cleric's supporters blamed his assassination on agents of Saddam Hussein's regime, rather than on any rivals.

Currency traders continued to handicap the war; the dollar shot up in the exchange market from 260 Iraqi dinars to 285 in the hours after Bush's ultimatum...
...like to think I have a following as well, so to you, John Q. Harvard, I propose the following: I am boycotting O’Reilly and everything on Fox News Channel. Fox News, or as I like to call it, “state-run television” (the televisions in the Bush White House are tuned to it), commits the cardinal sin of deceit every time they flash the slogan “Fair and Balanced” or “We Report. You Decide.” O’Reilly himself lies to his viewers...
