...among sexually active gay men in the U.S., accompanied by rising syphilis rates, which can complicate treatment. In Africa, Greene says, there are "some islands of success" but troubling increases in HIV transmission in other regions. Public-health experts acknowledge that there is no one magic bullet, no single approach to defeat AIDS, and that even the potential success of prophylactic antiretroviral drugs is only one arrow in the medical quiver.

A $5-million police training center is also planned. Australian Captain Mick Koen, a project engineer, says the troops...
With rare exceptions, the media railbirds and political pros roll their eyes. Even "America's mayor," they reason, cannot bypass a month of electoral fever with some early bird-dinner glad-handing. "We recognized, by doing this unconventional approach, there would be a good deal of criticism," says Mike DuHaime, Giuliani's campaign manager. "But we have used our time well...
