AIDS patients and many other extremely ill people have a special problem: their immune systems are too impaired to fight disease efficiently. As a result, they often require repeated courses of antibiotic therapy to hold infections at bay. But the longer the treatment lasts, the greater the likelihood that resistant strains will arise. By using antibiotics in combination with drugs that enhance immune response, however, physicians may be able to reduce treatment time...

There's no guarantee the Kaus' forced Civic Liberalism will be any more successful than the class-blind Pruit-lgoe apartment complex. Bauhaus architect Mies van der Rohe built this vast concrete block, devoid of the tenements' decaying wood and the bourgeois curves, angles and bay windows. But people resented the ugly, socially-engineered building, and the housing authority that paid for the place ended up dynamiting...
