Miami bureau chief Booth spent several days % last week at the army's decrepit general quarters, trying to glean what plans the country's military rulers might be making -- either to avoid an invasion by finally stepping down or to organize their troops to resist. Diederich touched based with longtime sources in and around Port-au-Prince, looking for cracks in the army's support...

That's what British tabloids decided when they learned that the germ had caused a mini-outbreak of lethal infections in Gloucestershire last month, bringing the death toll in England and Wales for this particularly virulent form of strep to 11 for the year. The papers fanned fears with such headlines as EATEN ALIVE and KILLER BUG ATE MY FACE. And when a handful of cases, including at least one death, were reported...
