That he survived at all gave the country reason to consecrate him. But McCain, a rascal midshipman who graduated near the bottom of his class, had found his faith in a different standard, where glory is measured by commitment to causes larger than oneself. And if everyone around him was saying he had brought honor to his family name, he didn't yet have reason to believe it. "They are treating us like heroes," he told his Naval Academy roommate Chuck Larson when he got back to the States, "and all I did was get shot down...

"Patient seems to have made an excellent readjustment over the past year," read his mental evaluation just a year after his return. "There is no sign of emotional difficulty."

Young orphan girls often turn to sex to survive and end up catching the virus. A South African study found that 9.5% of pregnant girls under age 15 were HIV-infected. And there is virtually no money to help. A recent UNAIDS study found that the disease is spreading three times as fast as the resources to combat it. And while the children on these pages have needs that...
