In the '90s, because of his Manhattan restaurants, Batali vaulted into the small coterie of cooks who were seen as fine artists rather than mere craftsmen.

The Crimson went 1-3, losing the first two matches before dismantling Santa Barbara and then barely falling to Pepperdine, the No. 2 team in the country. “People are starting to play a lot better,” captain Brandon Chiu said of his team, now 4-9 heading into Ancient Eight play. “We just haven’t had the results quite...

That is a problem, since the U.S.?s already modest stockpile of material to make an avian flu vaccine won?t stretch very far. In order to make the vaccine practical for a wider population, the scientific community, business and government must work together to figure out how to make the vaccine more effective at lower doses...
