Africa's last absolute ruler presides over a land where 70% live in destitution and 38.8% are infected with HIV, the world's worst rate. And ordinary Swazis are increasingly fed up with Mswati's gold-plated insensitivity, profligate spending and authoritarian ways, says Jan Sithole, secretary-general of the Swaziland Federation of Trade Unions (S.F.T.U).

Responding to complaints from AIDS activists and the pharmaceutical industry that drug approval was taking...

Even RHIC’s sharpest opponents calculate the risk of a world-ending “strangelet scenario” to be very, very small. According to Posner, an upper-bound estimate of the danger of a strangelet disaster is 1 in 500,000 over the 10-year period for which RHIC will be in operation. An alternative estimate from Swiss and Israeli scientists puts the danger at 1 in 500 million. But although the likelihood of a strangelet catastrophe is minimal, should...
