Sat, 4 Jun 2005 18:00:00 EST A real swampy deal

Some deals seem too good to pass up. In the spring of 2002, President Bush and his brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, unveiled a plan to prevent oil and gas exploration in a vast Everglades wildlife refuge. For $120 million, they announced, the Interior Department would acquire 400,000 acres of mineral rights held by a private company. Environmentalists, not usually big fans of the president, cheered. "This agreement," said Interior Secretary Gale Norton, "is a win for all sides."

Fri, 3 Jun 2005 12:00:00 EST Warding off whooping cough

After the development in the 1940s of a vaccine for whooping cough, a respiratory disease characterized by violent coughing spasms, the number of cases declined from nearly 200,000 each year to fewer than 5,000 in 1980. Today, many children get a series of shots protecting them against whooping cough as part of their normal pediatric care. (The shots also protect against tetanus, diphtheria, and, depending on the shot, hepatitis B and polio.) However, recently, the number of people contracting whooping cough is again on the rise, creeping toward 20,000. The vaccine is not approved for people over the age of 7, though about half the cases of the disease each year occur in those older than 10. A new vaccine called Adacel that could protect teens and adults from whooping cough, tetanus, and diphtheria has been developed and is awaiting approval from the FDA. Scientists from universities around the country and from the company that makes Adacel, Sanofi Pasteur, looked at how well the vaccine worked.
