Meanwhile, researchers like Kaye have launched a six-site National Institutes of Health-funded clinical trial to compare the Maudsley method to more traditional family therapies. At U.C.

Just over a week ago, Hong Kong released some 300 people stuck at a business hotel after cooping them up in a weeklong quarantine when one guest was found to be carrying the virus. The city, one of Asia's busiest business and travel hubs, was ravaged by the 2003 SARS epidemic as well as subsequent scares over avian flu. As a consequence, its counterpandemic procedures are among the most draconian...
