...Unnamed isn't a grim novel, exactly, but it's grim-ish. Only rarely does Ferris show the nice touch with a comic digression that he gave free rein to in Then We Came to the End. (Though there is a one-off about a man named Lev with a sexual fetish involving exotic snakes, which I choose to accept as an hommage à moi.) It's as if Ferris is testing his range to make sure the bass end is there as well as the comic treble. It's present and accounted for and suitably rich and profound...
...hard" approach to drug therapy, now the core of the ARV-cocktail treatment that is keeping millions of HIV-positive patients alive. His lab showed how HIV therapies would be most effective in the days and weeks immediately after HIV infected a new host. That understanding came from their breakthrough finding that rather than sitting latent for years after infection, as many experts believed at the time, HIV was actively challenging the immune system from Day One. Soon after that revelation, ADARC scientists were the first to add to existing data on how HIV worked by identifying a second...
...little success. The center - which had earned such laurels for its ARV triumph - began to suffer a scientific slump and lack of direction, according to those who left in the early 2000s.

Frustrated, several high-level faculty members, none of whom agreed to be quoted...

Harry Truman had to decide whether to drop the atom bomb. John F. Kennedy found himself invading Cuba. I wonder when Obama's moment came, as he splashed into office through a sea of red ink, ended his first year with a national-security nightmare and in between set out to pass a health care reform bill that a majority of the public now doesn't want...
Presidents seldom get the presidency they hoped for. They don't manage their inbox; it manages them, and they have to adjust to the paradox of power: as soon as they get it, they discover they rarely get to decide how to use it. This isn't what I came here to do, a President sighs, to which the answer is, Too damn bad. Lonely and frustrated is what being President means, and when Obama summons his predecessors' ghosts late at night, they can tell him how it went. (See who's who in Barack Obama's White House...
