“I think that the meeting today is a sign of hope that, after several weeks of violence, there might be some closure at the end of this long, dark tunnel that Kenyans have been facing. However, we must remember that this is just a first in a series of meetings that are supposed to bring resolution to this particular issue. I think that no one should expect Kofi Annan to wave a magic wand. In fact, his body language today at the press conference suggested that he was cautiously optimistic. So it’s a hopeful sign, but I think we have to be cautious.”
Makau Mutua, interim dean of the Law School and director of
UB's Human Rights Center, on PBS’s “News Hour with Jim
Lehrer,” where he discussed efforts at a political compromise
to end the recent violence in Kenya.

of Medicine and Pharmacology and Toxicology, in an article in
Diabetes Health magazine that reports on INTENSIVE, UB's
international clinical trial now under way to conclusively confirm
insulin’s ability to limit damage from heart attacks.
