...lead a major British political party for 40 years; those seeking other role models in public life can look to the Old Etonians who have run Amnesty International, Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth. All in all, it's a good time for Eton. To let the world catch up with this news, Little says he has mused about doing something splashy like scrapping the uniform (he decided against it). But is what's good for Eton good for Britain? For all its recent economic and cultural success, Britain has not left all the old wounds of class division behind...
...MRSA strains turning up in the community at large are related to but different from the ones found in medical institutions. The hospital variety usually requires intervention with powerful intravenous antibiotics and is pretty hard to catch. By contrast, the new strains of MRSA respond to a broader range of antibiotics but spread much more easily among otherwise healthy folks. The bugs can be picked up on playgrounds, in gyms and in meeting rooms, carried on anything from a shared towel to a poorly laundered necktie...
...Ahhh, summer. Time to goof off. There's only one catch. It's not goofing off if you take it too seriously. But taking vacations seriously is exactly what we Americans seem to do.

Bottom line: it's simply become too stressful to relax...
Rafi (Guillermo Toledo) is, by any reasonable standard, a catch. He's a youthfully tenured university professor. Besides which, he's cute, amiable and sexy. On the face of it Leni (Marian Aguilira) has every reason to proudly bring him home to meet her family. The only catch about her catch is that he's Palestinian and they're Jewish. But she's obviously hoping that given his good nature they can all work out a two-state solution to their domestic version of the Middle East crisis...
