...works, the Bronx initiative could serve as a blueprint for how the nation's health care community tackles HIV/AIDS - and save thousands of lives in the process. The Centers for Disease Control advocated routine widespread testing in 2003 and again in 2006, but so far it hasn't paid dividends. Washington, D.C., attempted to test 450,000 residents in 2006, but the initiative was a flop, reportedly meeting only about 10% of that target. New York's prospects for success may be brighter, partly because New York's health commissioner, Dr. Thomas Frieden, is one of the most effective...
...legacy - less the war on terror, more the war on disease - it is because he has been mugged by reality. Nearly seven years after U.S. troops first set foot there, the reconstruction of Afghanistan is at best a work in progress. That of Iraq has hardly advanced beyond a blueprint - or, rather, many of them. In the Middle East, neither the democracy which the Bush team was supposed to promote, nor the Arab-Israeli peace such democracy was supposed to engender, is much in evidence.

"The generals will be held to even higher standards than the troops," Heineman warns. But even if chieftains follow his comprehensive blueprint for integrity, Heineman believes that perfection, alas, is unattainable: "We don't need, and won't get, saints in our corner offices." But CEOs, he argues, must learn to walk the walk, as well as talk the talk...
...President Jimmy Carter's chief of staff in 1979, Hamilton Jordan--then 34--was one of the youngest ever to ascend to the post. Jordan began working for Carter during his first gubernatorial campaign and earned a spot in the future President's inner circle by crafting an audacious blueprint for winning the Oval Office. After Carter's election, Jordan served as a key adviser on both domestic and international affairs, counseling Carter on the Panama Canal treaty and the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. He died at age 63 after a long battle with cancer...
