Peter Piot, Director of UNAIDS, has said that, "the great moral test of our time is how the rich countries respond to the AIDS crisis." As America decides how to spend a $5.4-trillion projected surplus, it must bear in mind that enormous good can be done for less than $10 billion. Last year, the United States contributed about $350 million to fighting global AIDS; this year, it should multiply that amount several times. Stone Professor of International Trade Jeffrey D. Sachs '76 and others have estimated that dramatic gains in fighting AIDS in Africa can be had for only...

...Africa. In order for them to succeed in boosting U.S. involvement, however, their voices must be amplified by the voice of the public.

Simultaneously, pressure must be brought to bear on drug companies to lower the price of AIDS drugs to developing countries to the cost of production. Students must answer the calls of a global conscience and act now to end the global AIDS crisis. Each day that passes brings 8,000 new deaths. There is no time...

The senseless barbarisms that the Taliban may perpetrate should not distract from our obligation to render humanitarian assistance to the people who live under...

...Well, here's the scary thought - that a 12-month NASDAQ bear market (in which it's lost 63 percent of its value) will be good for at least a 12-month slowdown, maybe more. The rest of the world has the same cold the U.S. does, and there's not much reason at all for people to start buying computers and cell phones all over again, seeing as how they all do pretty much the same thing they did last year. Under this scenario, we're still near the bottom - definitely nearer, at least, than...
