...Some suspect bird flu has been in India for a while, but merely gone undetected. Indeed Maharashtra's Animal Husbandry Minister himself suggested the outbreak began in mid-January. "As they died, truck drivers just dumped them on the highways," says Anees Ahmed. "The damage would have been less if we had been informed on time, but we were not kept in the picture." Nor does India's record on dampening the spread of other diseases inspire confidence. While some southern states, which are generally richer and have better healthcare, have won commendation from health experts for their efforts...
...least my old doctors never lied to me (at least, not that I know of), which is more than I can say for my friends' peds. Last fall a handful of us wanted to get our tots flu shots without the mercury-based preservative thimerosal, which some people suspect is a risk factor for autism. Still searching for a new pediatrician, I asked a friend's doctor about the issue and was assured that kids' flu shots never contain thimerosal. A second friend was told the same thing by her doctor.

All indications are that, under the post-9/11 program, a softer legal trigger was used. How much softer? That's an explosive legal and political mystery. Michael Hayden, the former NSA head who has taken a public role in defending the program but who is not a lawyer, has implied that the NSA officers who were manning the spotter desks had to have a reason to believe that a terrorist plot might be in the works...
...result, say the authors, who split their time between Australia and the U.S., is an epidemic of depression. They accept the more dire estimates about the illness's prevalence - 1 in 4 people in those countries. Such numbers bemuse the skeptics, who suspect medicos who quote them of links to the drug industry. But Murray and Fortinberry generally disparage antidepressants. They do believe that a depressed brain is different - physically - to a healthy one, but not as a result of some spontaneous chemical abnormality. Rather, they back the theory that emotional stress in the early years inhibits proper development...
