...leader, with 120 hotels in 24 countries. Why the interest in prestige North American properties? In part, foreign hoteliers hope to lure nouveau-riche travelers from their own countries.

Critically, the surveys show that most respondents say concern about greenhouse gases and climate change are the key reasons for their views...
Since most pediatricians regard the hubbub over the possible risks of vaccines as silly (which it may be) and the growing trend among some parents not to vaccinate as dangerous (which it almost certainly is), I'm sure those docs thought they were doing us hysterical moms a favor by fudging the truth.
