...Norway. Like doctors elsewhere in Western Europe - and in the U.S. and Canada - Norwegians don't routinely prescribe Tamiflu to their patients. (Tamiflu is not a flu vaccine, but a post-exposure treatment that helps prevent the virus from spreading within the body, and reduces symptoms.) They just tell them to get some rest and drink plenty of fluids. It's a bit of a mystery, then, why so many of Norway's samples are drug-resistant. In theory, viruses should develop resistance to drugs the same way bacteria do: through evolution. Since organisms with drug-resistant traits are better...
...cross the picket line came as a blow to the strikers. The other comics who had kept working were mostly close friends of Mitzi's or young kids who didn't know any better. Shandling was different. "This wasn't a hick off the street," says Letterman. "You could tell that Garry was a real talent." Dreesen calls his move "unconscionable." Shandling says he felt the strike had simply dragged on too long, and claims he got private support for his position from other striking comics, who felt the same way but were afraid to cross the picket line...

...trying to make a difference in a positive way," says Suterwalla. "But there are those who don't know how to cope with it, when they see what's going on in the news." Radicalized fellow Muslims think he's fooling himself by tackling injustice through the courts. "They tell me, 'You're working within the system that is not compatible with Islam,'" he says. "Even some very well-educated people are attracted to radical groups, because of what they see as injustice. The middle class is not immune...
...heard at a rally in Salinas, California, accepting the coveted endorsement of the United Farmworkers Union, "Si se pueda is right! That's right, yes we can!" Unfortunately, she can't - the slogan is "Sí se puede." Now, in Senator Clinton's defense, she's the first to tell audiences that languages aren't her strongest suit, citing a college French teacher who told her: "Mademoiselle, your talents lie elsewhere...
