Sara Pearce, who supervised the Cincinnati Enquirer Tempo section in the 1990s, died Sunday at age 68.
Full disclosure: I hired Sara as food writer in the early 1980s, when I was the Enquirer s features editor supervising the Tempo, Sunday Arts & Entertainment and weekly Food sections. After I was named TV columnist in 1985 – and after Pearce returned from the Orlando Sentinel and other papers – she was my boss.
Pearce oversaw the daily Tempo features section, and weekly A&E and Food sections, until 2004, when she stepped down as assistant managing editor to cover the art beat. She took a Gannett buy-out in 2008, and started her Paper With A Past artwork. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a year later.
Expert panel votes FDA SHOULD give Moderna s COVID-19 vaccine emergency approval amid hopes the U.S will soon have a second shot to help get 20 million Americans vaccinated by the end of 2020
A panel of FDA experts voted that the agency should approve Moderna s coronavirus vaccine and recommend whether the shot should be approved
With their endorsement, Moderna s shot will almost certainly get emergency approval tonight or tomorrow
Two people in Moderna s trial had severe allergic reactions: one who got a placebo, and a vaccine recipient who had anaphylactic shock 63 days later
Moderna determined neither were linked to the shot, and allergic reactions are generally immediate, not months later
