...solved with home-grown remedies. Americans buy more goods than they produce; the difference is imported from abroad. If Americans spent less and saved more, the trade deficit could diminish. Japan, which saves four times more than the U.S., consistently runs trade surpluses. Japan-bashing will not cure America's economic malaise. The remedy is to raise savings--most easily by cutting the Federal budget deficit--and to raise public and private investment...
...elsewhere have gained some insight into the mechanism of the disease, but while the five-year survival rate of women with breast cancer has risen from 78 percent in the 1940s to 93 percent today, the disease still baffles scientists who attempt to explain its origins, and a cure remains a distant goal...

The impact of the disease has been as complex as finding a cure, and to capture somehow these complexities with words must be one of the most formidable tasks available to the contemorary literati. And, like finding a cure, the writing of the AIDS novel, or novels, will be marked by marry wrong turns, trial, error, frustrations, advances, despair and hope. Gone Tomorrow, though interesting in its premise and ambitious in its multi-oriented goal, seems like an experiment that leads to no major breakthrough. Though ultimately unsuccessful, it remains...
