...history holds one lesson for the malariologist, it is modesty in the face of nature. Scientists admit that vaccines alone will not defeat this resilient organism. "Controlling malaria will take all the resources we have: insecticides and drugs, as well as vaccines," says Top. Drug research is continuing at Walter Reed and elsewhere.

Even the delegates who cheered Mondale most ardently at Moscone Center would admit that, whatever his strengths, he is not entirely the candidate of their dreams. But who would be? Jimmy Carter? George McGovern? Lyndon Johnson? John Kennedy? There may be something in the last. The Democrats' model of the perfect candidate, a Platonic form buried somewhere in the subconscious of the party...
