The Times-Picayune in New Orleans is promoting the work of Mark Schleifstein, a 24-year veteran of the newspaper, with a forceful claim this week: He is, the paper asserts, "the man who predicted the flood".
The authors of that paper asserted the importance of this problem because of differences in antifungal susceptibility [ 3], especially the fact that the resistance rate to fluconazole and amphotericin B is high in C. guilliermondii.
Of the disaster's 1,500 victims, the paper asserted, "many of those were trapped in the ship's hull".
In an editorial, the paper asserted, "People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the quality of life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless".
Instead, Burroughs, reading from the paper, asserted that "there neither are, nor ever were witches, that having made a compact with the Devil can send a Devil to torment other people at a distance".
Two days later, Jacinta De Roeck, one of three senators who sponsored the euthanasia law and the director of Belgium's Liberal-Humanist Association, published an op-ed in the paper, asserting that there had been no abuses of the law since it was passed, ten years earlier.
