Saunders' positive result came as a shock to the nurse, but it shouldn't have. Seniors are one of the fastest-growing HIV-infected populations in the U.S. Sunny south Florida, a magnet for retirees, has the largest concentration of people 50 or older with HIV. Seniors account for 14% of AIDS cases in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, compared with 10% nationally. "You've got people contracting it later in life," says Drace Langford, a member of the Florida HIV/AIDS and Aging Task Force.

A survey last week by the Pew Charitable Trust found that the Littleton shooting is one of the most closely followed stories of the decade; it lingers in part because of our failure to account for what happened. And we in the media are just as scared that we're to blame. By telling a violent news story, are we risking imitation? By providing a violent fairy tale, do we invite it? The biggest movie in history puts a double-bladed light saber in every child's hand or mind...
