...based entirely on its Hindu nationalist ideology. Equally important has been its image as an honest party that would never compromise on national security. The genial, portly Vajpayee is the personification of these qualities. But with the repeated airing of the Tehelka videotapes on TV, what was still largely cocktail party gossip in New Delhi has turned into a national sensation - Vajpayee heads a corrupt administration, and fortunes are being made from kickbacks on defense deals...

In reality, the drugs of choice for athletes today are amphetamines, cocaine, heroin and huge doses of caffeine-substances experts say often escape detection through a combination of masking agents, passage of time and connivance by officials. A popular injectable cocktail of those substances-known as a pot belge-contains drugs that are purer and far more addictive than those sold on the streets...

On a quiet street in Sheikh Jarrah, an Arab neighborhood of Jerusalem, the 40-year-old director's special effects team is having trouble with a Molotov cocktail that's supposed to be thrown in this scene.

The authorities in South Africa want the right to import the cheapest possible version of the drugs that can contain their AIDS emergency, but the drug companies want to protect their patents from being undermined by cheaper copies. Both sides...
...ability to turn a handsome profit, they would have no incentive to make the capital outlays required to develop new drugs. Critics will argue, of course, that the scale of the profit requires some explanation: After all, if an Indian company is able to supply the AIDS-drug cocktail at 5 percent of the price charged in the U.S. and still turn a profit, that speaks of a margin for which "handsome" seems too benign an adjective. It certainly poses the question of what might be a socially acceptable profit margin for lifesaving potions...
