...vaccines have lately begun to look more promising. Wood Mackenzie expects the market to grow from $9 billion in 2004 to $13 billion by 2009. Why?

...Padded up and nervous one Saturday afternoon, my brother and his batting partner were about to head out to the middle to chase a challenging target when Bill sauntered over. "All right, boys, no silly buggers," he said. "But if the ball's there to be hit, lay the wood into it." And that was it. Short. Simple. Kind of funny in a way that's hard to explain. But also the essence of batting in a sentence. The pair strode off and soon had their team on course for victory...
