There is a way to get around this, by using adjuvants - chemicals added to a vaccine that boost the immune system's response. That could stretch the world's capacity to more than 2 billion doses. But the U.S. has never licensed an adjuvated flu vaccine, which could delay approval in America. And while Europe doesn't have that problem, if Washington demands pure vaccine from its suppliers, that would affect supply for the rest of the world. For now, adjuvants are seen in the U.S. as a last resort. "Adjuvant use would be contingent upon showing that...

All the gas burned as we crawl along clogged roadways could fill 370,000 18-wheelers, the study says - enough to stretch from Houston to Boston to Los Angeles...
...During the final stretch of the presidential election last fall - when Diarra's fantasy of an African American in the White House began to seem probable - he downloaded a new ringtone onto his phone, of Obama chanting "Yes we can! Yes we can!" As the election results rolled in, Diarra joined the celebrations on Bamako's streets, and changed his ringtone again, to Obama's victory song by Stevie Wonder, "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," which he has kept ever since.
