...South Korean scientists have linked their outbreak this past winter to migratory ducks. Such ducks have a natural resistance to the flu, so they can potentially spread the virus over wide areas without showing symptoms. "This may explain why the virus has reappeared in divergent areas of Thailand and Vietnam, and to me that is the real concern," says Dr. Robert Webster, a bird-flu expert at St. Jude's Research Hospital in Memphis. The fear is that this could all just be a preamble to a far greater catastrophe: every new outbreak and human infection give the unstable virus...
...your stories, I discovered that the people who successfully transformed the unheralded places you described used their heads to combat complacency. What a great way to use the human mind. Mamora Olusegun Victor Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria Follow the Money The ratio of eyewitnesses who support John Kerry's Vietnam War record to those who do not can only be described as overwhelming. Yet your Notebook report "Kerry in Combat: Setting the Record Straight" [Aug. 30] allowed baseless accusations to be elevated to charges worthy of serious contemplation.

The latest TIME poll shows Bush leading his rival, John Kerry, 52% to 41%. Kerry's decline has coincided with the airing of television ads attacking his Vietnam War record and antiwar activism. Anxious Democrats say Kerry was not quick or aggressive enough in countering the largely unsubstantiated attacks on his record by a group calling itself Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, but Kerry's drop in the polls also suggests continued confusion over his explanations of where...
...Bush campaign. He claims to be a Democrat, and so, several Republicans told me, he was free to say anything he pleased. But Miller's speech wasn't the most disgraceful part of the G.O.P. show. That honor went to the Purple Heart Band-Aids ridiculing John Kerry's Vietnam wounds that were distributed by a past associate of Karl Rove's. It goes without saying that Rove had absolutely nothing to do with the idea--except perhaps for setting the scabrous tone of the Bush campaign...
