Shooters help the shot
Article Abstract:
The 1992 grouse hunting season opened in the UK on Aug 12. The wild bird hunt is an important source of revenue for moor landowners, who can make as much as 10,000 pounds in a day from hunters. The grouse population is falling in some regions, due to heavy predation and intense hunting.

Article Abstract:
Some 10% of combatants in the Gulf war showed evidence of Gulf-war syndrome. This could be linked to vaccines administered in the field, where stress levels were high. This may result in different vaccination policies, if the link appears to be proven.
