...good idea for the U.S. to begin vaccinating all Americans again? Though it could neutralize one major bioterrorist weapon, there are strong arguments against it. The shots themselves carry risks. Historically, for about two out of every 1 million people inoculated, the vaccine's weak virus strain caused brain infection and death; others developed a mild but still unpleasant poxlike viral infection. More worrisome is the fact that the number of people most vulnerable to these adverse effects--those with compromised immune systems, such as patients in chemotherapy or with AIDS--has increased considerably since the last mass inoculations.

Staph left the game after aggravating an old ankle injury, and Rose was shaken up on the ensuing drive. Harvard Coach Tim Murphy replaced Rose with freshman Ryan Fitzpatrick. After a weak punt by the Crimson’s Adam Kingston, the Tigers’ offense remained effective and scored less than two minutes later on a seven-yard TD run by Atkinson, cutting Harvard’s lead...
...look at what happened in September, you?ll see the terrorists did brilliantly in finding and exploiting the weak spots in our counterintelligence. Those failings, unfortunately, run the gamut. I?ve been told, for example, that throughout the 1990s people on terrorist watch lists were just wandering back and forth across the Canadian border like cockroaches...
