...Sale" sign on numerous pieces of its business, downsizing what once was the nation's largest bank. Citi's executives are taking a decidedly different tack in trying to rescue their firm than their competitors, and some analysts question whether the downsizing alone will be enough to turn around the bank...
Peaceable Neighbors Thank you for drawing attention to the talks between Turkey and Armenia "that could reopen their border" [Sept. 21]. I wish them well. As an Anglo-Armenian I look forward to a just settlement for the atrocities committed around 1915.

Which means that although those who are vaccinated might be protected, they are still very infectious and can continue to spread HIV--not an ideal side effect of a vaccine meant to contain...
...NIAID inherited it from the Department of Defense in 2003, by which time 1,000 volunteers had already been enrolled. Fauci says he was loath to pull the rug out, despite having rejected a trial for a similar pair of prime-and-boost vaccines that came through the institute around the same time. "I was hoping when I made the decision to allow this trial to go ahead that we would at least learn something from it," says Fauci. "Guess what? We are." Maybe more than anyone could have anticipated...
