Washington health officials warned a U S flu shot shortage will not be eased by imports from Canada or other countries. FDA discussions with vaccine makers revealed a few million unsold doses but unlicensed status for U S sale makes timely approval doubtful. President Bush had suggested Canadian supplies might help, despite safety concerns over imported meds. Contaminated batches from Chiron disrupted 48 million U S vaccines, triggering the crisis.

Truth wizards detect lies in lab tests
A small group labeled wizards can reliably detect deception in tests. Maureen O'Sullivan of the University of San Francisco notes 31 of 13,000 studied show this skill, spotting micro expressions and thinking clues. They vary in age and reside nationwide, often practicing like athletes to improve accuracy.
