...based Journal of Infectious Diseases reported that the number of people getting measles in migrant populations was almost eight times higher than in resident communities, largely because migrants are either too broke or too disenfranchised to get routine childhood immunizations. Indeed, two of China's poorer neighbors, Vietnam and Mongolia, boast higher rates of routine childhood immunization than China, because of their greater public-health commitment. "All of the international organizations in China have sent clear signals that the public-health system needs to be reformed," says the WHO's Lee. "But so far, we've had almost no response...
...moving in the right direction, but nowhere near fast enough." For all his doubts, Hayman was pleasantly surprised earlier this year when Jean-Pierre Labbé dropped by Global Witness's London offices, saying: "I am here to listen." Labbé, 55, a former head of operations in Vietnam, has for the past two years served as Total's vice president for international public affairs - the point person for relations with often-hostile critics. Labbé says his job is to "translate the demands of civil society into a language my colleagues can understand." He also tries to identify relief...

They were apparently executed three months later as suspected spies, although the U.S. and Australian governments maintain they were tourists. The remains have not been officially identified, but members of the Dean family say they recognize items found with...
...tragedy of Sept. 11 made things politically possible that never might have been otherwise. The defeat of Vietnam-maimed Sen. Max Cleland on grounds that he was unpatriotic, the prosecution of pre-emptive war in Iraq, the detention of suspects without trial or counsel, the suspension or revisions of numerous civil liberties—all were conceivable only after the attack, and all are deserving of media scrutiny. Yet the media fairly quickly turned its attention elsewhere (new shark attacks). Now, not only has the public forgotten about the survival of al Qaeda, the failure to locate Saddam, the entire...
