...Frequent upper-respiratory infections--colds, strep throat, middle-ear and sinus infections--may be a sign of undiagnosed allergy. One of the ways the body responds to the tiny particles that trigger allergies is by producing mucus, which turns out to be a terrific medium for trapping and growing viruses and bacteria. Getting rid of the mucus, which means identifying and treating the allergy, makes it much less likely that you will catch those germs in the first place. As a general rule, infants who suffer more than six upper-respiratory infections a year, and school-age children and adults...
...falling out of his canoe last summer can, if convicted, face a $100 fine and up to 90 days behind bars. Revolutionary War re-enactors in Massachusetts may also face serious gaol time. A state law banning assault weapons calls for the arrest of owners who don't have trigger guards on their firearm. It doesn't matter whether it is a deadly AK-47 or an old flintlock.

In 1995 Planned Parenthood and several targeted doctors sued the site's backers, charging that it illegally incited violence. Last week a Portland, Ore., jury agreed, handing the plaintiffs a $107 million verdict that the pro-choice movement hailed...
After a four-goal, second period deluge by the Crimson women, the goal judge developed an itchy trigger finger. During a third-period power play, sophomore right wing Tammy Shewchuk fired a shot on goal that startled a goal judge into lighting the lamp just as it left her stick. The shot never actually went in. Shewchuk finished with one goal and four assists. The erroneous signal proved only to be a grim reminder of the Crimson's dominance in the final round of the Beanpot...
