Swine flu (caused by H1N1: a subtype of influenza A virus), that has infected 1600 and killed 151 mexicans and now affects 16 countries, has it own history. According to Francisco Guerra (1985/La epidemia Americana de influenza de 1493. 45 (176) :326-347), pigs imported by Spaniards decimated Taino Indians (1 000 000 to 10 000, in the course of 13 years) of the island of Santo Domingo.

Life in Peru has been good to me. I don’t regret for a minute leaving corporate America to spend time with Patricia here in Cusco. I’ve been able to travel, meet a lot of great people, learn a new culture and work on things I enjoy. There are many sides to Peru and the country still faces a lot of difficult issues, such as poverty, corporate culture and environmental protections. That said, the country is safe, has a free and open society and a generally functional democracy. Today there...

ON the afternoon of Nov. 7, 2006, pilots and airport employees at O?Hare International Airport in Chicago saw a disc-like object hovering over the tarmac for several minutes. Because nothing was tracked on radar, the Federal Aviation Administration did not investigate. Yet radar is not a reliable detector of all aircraft. Stealth planes are designed to be invisible to radar, and many radar systems filter out signals not matching the normal characteristics of aircraft. Did it really make sense to...

There are some things which are so self-evidently right and good that it's hard to imagine how anyone could disagree with you. The "open access" academic journal movement is one of those things. It is a no-brainer. Academic literature should be freely available: developing countries need access; part-time tinkering thinkers like you deserve full access; journalists and the public can benefit; and most importantly of all, you have already paid for much of this stuff with your taxes. They are important new...
