Gardasil protects against four types of human papillomavirus, which account for the vast majority of the 500,000 cervical-cancer cases and the 32 million new cases of genital warts around the world each year. Last fall Merck released encouraging results from its clinical trial in which 755 healthy sexually active women were injected with the protective shots three times over six months and none developed precancerous growths in the cervix after four years...
...Even though the Abu Ghraib scandal has faded from the front pages, Smith's trial is attracting attention because it highlights - in a way that previous cases did not - the extent to which senior Army officers may have established guidelines that led to abuse in the first place.

...Outing Club saluted Alaska by substituting the state’s flag for their clothes. A panel of “celebrity judges”—the Adams House masters—judged the sleds first on aesthetic appearance. The teams then underwent a time trial over a distance of 1,049 inches, a weight test in which the teams pulled two kegs on the sled over the same distance, and then the head-to-head race. Rennell announced that the participants had to obey three rules—“No passing on corners. No stealing...
