Hard experience will do that, like it or not. We are beginning to embrace--slowly and often against our will--that ancient dictum "Know thine enemy." Investigators rounding up suspects searched for a definitive link to al-Qaeda's leaders.

Due to the reduced costs, combination drug therapy could potentially reach up to two to three times as many people as before. Yet 39 American pharmaceutical companies came out in ardent opposition to sharing their secret recipes. They claimed intellectual property was violated. But what about Hassan? Or his brother? And the nameless thousands?Even though the Food and Drug Administration eventually caved, these drugs are still conspicuously absent from the African interior. About 500,000 Africans receive the antiretroviral medications they...
