Daily Debriefing
A team of Dartmouth Medical School researchers presented the results of a seven-year study of a tuberculosis vaccine at the 39th World Conference on Lung Health in Paris on Monday, the Valley News reported Tuesday. The team said the results could be especially effective in treating TB cases complicated by HIV infections. The new vaccine was 36 to 47 percent effective in trials, which exceeds the level of effectiveness usually considered worthwhile for AIDS and TB patients, DMS professor Ford von Reyn said, according to the Valley News. The vaccine is still in an early stage of development, DMS professor Richard Waddell, a member of the Dartmouth research team told the Valley News. Von Reyn said researchers involved in the creation of the vaccine hope to see it work successfully within the next few years. The study was conducted with help from researchers from the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and was sponsored in part by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. TB is the number one cause of death amongst HIV and AIDS patients, the Valley News said.

Iraq veteran, writer Fick '99 celebrated in HBO series
Fick served in the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion of the marines, which led the invasion of central Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. The battalion's story was covered by Rolling Stone's Evan Wright, who wrote about the battalion in his article "The Killer Elite." The article became a book -- "Generation Kill" (2004) -- and the book became an HBO series by the same name.
Lap-top Of The Heap
Classes are fantastic -- they offer us just over an hour to observe our fellow undergraduates. During my observations, I have recently discovered that a bilious subculture exists within our own intellectual community. This is a group of people so despicable, so vile, and so loathsome that I cannot bear to speak their names. Yes, my dear readers, they are the classroom laptop-users.
A Time to Question
We live in a world that reveres the questioner. If we learned anything from that crusty old Socrates, it's that learning begins with questions. Even Chinese proverbs venerate inquiry: "One who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; one who does not ask a question remains a fool forever." Books have been written on how giving in to curiosity can lead to self-improvement -- Gerald Nadler's "How to Ask the Right Questions" (2004) and Michael Marquardt's "Leading with Questions" (2005) just to name the top two most popular on Amazon.com. The scientific method, and all science for that matter, begins with an interrogative pronoun. My philosophy professor warned our class that, although we might not reach many definitive answers this term, we'd leave knowing how to ask the right questions.

World Leaders, Global Perspectives
In his article "'A' For Apathy," (Oct. 15) Jacob Batchelor '12 discusses the importance of political involvement and voter participation. He says, "We, as a generation, need to set the tone for our future in political involvement." He fails to see, however, that Americans are not alone in playing a vital part in the coming election -- the whole world is with you, including international students at Dartmouth.
