...nearly four years he endured in a forced-labor camp, the decade he spent working with tuberculosis patients in refugee camps along the Thailand-Cambodia border. He laughs about the 20-hr. days he put in getting the NGO he co-founded, the Cambodian Health Committee (CHC), off the ground--the only work that was harder than Khmer Rouge re-education. The one thing Sok Thim, 48, takes absolutely seriously is the right of every patient--no matter how poor, no matter how desperate-- to receive treatment...
...Manhiça Health Research Centre. The terribly impoverished rural town is the last place you would expect to find a sophisticated medical laboratory. But here, working with a team of mostly Mozambican scientists and backed by the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation, Alonso has been studying malaria on the ground and, for the past four years, testing an extraordinarily promising vaccine against the disease. So far, it's only partly effective, but even in this imperfect form, experts say, it could save millions of lives. "We're talking about the first solid demonstration of a malaria vaccine," says Alonso. "This...

Berry, who played quarterback in high school, stepped right into the starting lineup at the beginning of the season after senior Gary Sonkur went down with...
...with a first-and-goal at the two—a drive which sophomore quarterback Liam O’Hagan easily capped with a sneak. Special teams came into play again on the ensuing kickoff, when sophomore Matt Schindel’s short kick squirted around on the ground, allowing the Crimson to recover on the Big Green’s 32-yard line. The next play saw Dawson take the ball to the endzone, putting to rest any doubt about the game’s outcome. In just over five minutes, the crowd saw three scores?...
