...remote, impoverished Turkish town of Dogubeyazit, a chicken is more than just a bird. For the hardscrabble villagers, it's often the only source of dietary protein, and for their children, the only toy. So it was no surprise that 15-year-old Fatma Kocyigit and her 14-year-old brother Mehmet Ali played with the sick fowl their father had brought indoors for protection from the bitter December cold. The fun proved fatal. The children came down with high fevers and bleeding throats; when they went to a nearby hospital, they received ordinary medication for a cold and were...
...these outbreaks," says John Oxford, a professor of virology at London's Queen Mary's School of Medicine. "Even the dad whose children died can reassure himself of that." The most crucial item of scientific information: who officials say they have so far seen nothing to indicate that the Turkish victims contracted bird flu from other people, the potential nightmare that could lead to a pandemic. Virologists at the National Institute for Medical Research (nimr) in London, which is home to the World Influenza Centre, analyzed the sequence of genes in the h5n1 virus that killed the Kocyigits.

While much of corporate Europe shut down last week, top officials at the Luxembourg steel company Arcelor were working harder than ever.

The color TV in a remote Turkish farmstead and the concrete-walled house amid shacks of corrugated iron have often been paid for by absent family members. Plenty of church halls in Ireland have been funded by passing the plate around congregations in Boston and New York. But the scale of money flows is new. Mass migration...
...oldest Marine in attendance, John Brock, who was born in 1943. A corporal born in 1984 received the third slice as the youngest Marine in attendance. A Marine with a traditional officer’s sword, modeled on the Mameluke Sword awarded to a Marine officer by a Turkish viceroy for heroism during the Battle of Tripoli in 1805, sliced the cake. The event, which also drew current and future Marines from other nearby universities and service members from other branches of the military, commenced with a bagpipe performance outside the Spangler Center. “I just love...
