...anthrax vaccine itself has been in use for 20 years in various cow-related occupations (remember when anthrax was only a bovine disease and a heavy metal band?) and was FDA-approved at one point, though the inspectors haven't been too crazy about the production line at maker BioPort's big new plant. BioPort itself is now swamped with demand and cash flow problems, thanks to the Pentagon's bulk order, prompting more worries about the quality and safety of future batches...
...though, joined the Army alone. There's a young Marine who was honorably discharged because his first few shots made his mothersick - from worry, supposedly. There are also a lot of part-timers like me who have to decide how much risk this Army is worth based in part on the feelings of wives and girlfriends who never thought it was worth risking anything for in the first place. This, again, makes the odds extremely cloudy - more of my life than my health is at stake here - and the question of Duty even more so. The Army Values...
Unfortunately, whether this perception is fair or not, some concentrations are doing little to reverse it in the field of advising. Surveys of student satisfaction with undergraduate advising show that most of the concentrations that were at the bottom of the list three years ago still remain there, even though others have greatly improved their advising procedures.

Right now, though, U.S. output levels are still increasing annually, and cutting them will require some painful sacrifices in the world's most evolved car culture. Short of banning gas-guzzling SUVs and risking a revolution, adding tax remains, as Europeans have found, the most effective way to curb consumption. After all, even at $2 a gallon, gas is still a bargain compared with the inflation...
...woodcutters allegedly executed by Serb security forces that nine former K.L.A. soldiers first declared their intention to resist. "We have no other option than to protect ourselves," says the UCPMB founder, a 35-year-old former car mechanic who insists on anonymity. Belgrade's plans remain unclear, though NATO intelligence has reported an increase in police and army activity along the Kosovo border. Officially, Belgrade calls the group U.S.-backed "terrorists" intent on provoking a NATO intervention...
