What other explanation can there be for the string of terrible mishaps that have struck the nation's capital this year, culminating in the Easter Monday shooting at the National Zoo that left an 11-year-old boy in critical condition and five other children wounded? Or for the debacle that allowed telecommunications companies to turn downtown Washington into a no-drive zone by digging axle-rattling fiber-optic-cable trenches on major streets while local authorities stood by twiddling their thumbs?

CATTLE CALL Scientists have been speculating for years that plying the nation's livestock with antibiotics may be creating superresistant bacteria in humans. Here's new evidence: after contact with cattle on his family's farm, a 12-year-old Nebraska boy became infected with the same antibiotic-resistant strain of salmonella that had sickened the cows. Using a "molecular fingerprint," researchers confirmed that the cow bug and human bug were indeed one and the same...
