Hans Christian Andersen honored in Denmark

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, March 31,2005 11:29 p.m.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- In the past months, Danes have lived in a true Hans Christian Andersen frenzy, which some say has been no fairy tale. As his countrymen get ready to celebrate his bicentennial, the image of Andersen, who wrote such classics as "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "The Little Mermaid," can be seen everywhere -- on coins, in post offices, on beer labels, on posters announcing shows celebrating the Dane, on dinnerware and on baby clothes and accessories especially designed for the jubilee.

By Jeff Alsott and Jeff Alstott · Thursday, March 31,2005 11:22 p.m.

There is an epidemic running rampant throughout the world population. The malady sneaks up on its victim with little warning or cause, and there is no definitive cure. The ailment generally has a short life span in the human body but can reside for more than two decades. While present, the condition disrupts respiratory and oral functions and can even be fatal.
