#1 "The P-1 virus was detected in the 17-month-old girl though she had been duly vaccinated with polio drops,"
The vaccine was ineffective - because it was handled/administered wrong (easy to see that happening if people are trying to kill you while you vaccinate), or has the virus evolved resistance in the abundance of infections of the unvaccinated over the past few years?

I'd bet that it hadn't been properly stored and therefore deteriorated, Glenmore, or it had been diluted, or it was actually plain water. They've been having problems with that particular form of corruption in that part of the world recently.

#8 I dunno, Frank. #4 has a certain verbal piquancy achieved only by artists like Maureen Dowd after her third bottle of chardonnay.
