...international agencies. So the demand for a treatment--until, at least, a vaccine becomes available, and probably well after--isn't likely to subside. It will continue to draw manufacturers considerably less concerned than is Roche about its intellectual property rights. Cipla, an Indian generics manufacturer that already sells cheap HIV drugs to African countries, now plans to begin selling a generic version of Tamiflu at cut-rate prices--and says it will do so probably within three months, regardless of whether the Swiss drug firm grants it a license.

...realize that a major point to bond on with your teammates during Beirut games is the poor quality of the beer (usually Bud, Miller, or a cheaper offshoot). As much as they are orgies of booze-fueled competition, Beirut games are also organized denouncements of the horrors of cheap American beer.

He had never liked them, knowing that oil prices had fallen in real terms over 150 years while demand had grown at a desultory pace?"a formula for a bad long-term investment." Still, after years of lackluster performance, the sector was cheap, so he drew up a list of buys, like Devon Energy, Apache and XTO Energy. But he never bought them. "I was preoccupied with other things," Miller admits. "When I got around to doing it, the prices had moved up about 5%, and I don't want...
