creatures no omen of expected mild El Nino, experts say
Associated Press, Sept. 16 – All summer,

Caution:
That dose may be too high
New York Times, Sept. 17 – Twenty percent of
prescription drugs are marketed with instructions for use that
must later be corrected by the manufacturer, almost always to

to certain patients. (Quotes UCSD associate professor Jay
S. Cohen).
