...Salmonella Saintpaul victim fell ill on April 16, but the FDA didn't announce the tomato link until June 3. Williams says part of the problem identifying salmonella outbreaks is that a lot of victims don't see the symptoms - diarrhea, fever, vomiting - as sufficiently severe to warrant a visit to the doctor, and so they go undiagnosed. "There may be a delay in reporting outbreaks because people do not have a stool specimen tested," he says. Officials have not yet identified an infected tomato, and because of the fruit's short shelf life, they probably never will...
...Egypt from 1978 to 1980, Mustafa Khalil was instrumental in the negotiations between Israel and Egypt at Camp David that ultimately resulted in a peace accord in 1979, the first such agreement between Israel and an Arab nation.

"Officials sometimes visit our village, but they never seem to do anything," says Santosh, a 35-year-old resident of Jhajjal who was diagnosed with leukemia three years back and goes to Bikaner every six months for a blood transfusion...
...impressions of the Class of 2008, gained during my admittedly brief visit this spring, are a bit different. What I have noticed is considerable seriousness of purpose, both in and out of class, and remarkably little self-absorption. Nobody tried to take over University Hall this spring, but quite a few of my students did give up long weekends without sleep or pay to campaign for their favorite candidates in New Hampshire, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
