...more likely suspect is wind shear, a collision or crossing of high-velocity winds, often during thunderstorms. Since the winds can shift from head to tail almost instantaneously, the condition is nearly impossible for a pilot to handle at relatively slow takeoff and landing speeds. Recent studies have cited wind shear as a factor in at least 27 commercial aircraft accidents since 1964. The most notable: an Eastern Airlines 727 crash on landing at New York's JFK Airport in 1975 that killed 113, and a Pan American 727 accident after takeoff from New Orleans in 1982 that left...
Researchers are hunting for clues to why one person develops the disease while others merely harbor the virus. Some investigators suspect that additional viral infections may play a role as accomplices or triggers. The main suspects: Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus (both members of the herpes family) and the virus that causes hepatitis B.

The real gender issue at Harvard does not concern any supposed innate differences between men and women. It concerns the innate awkwardness and incompetence of most Harvard students, men and women, in dealing with members of the opposite...
