Sometimes the biggest health advances can come in the form of tiny innovations. In Foster City, Calif., drug company Gilead has a very simple plan to tackle HIV: make the drugs easier to take. The firm gained headway two years ago when it introduced its Viread antiretroviral (HIV is a type of virus known as a retrovirus), which lasts longer than other similar medications and is more convenient for the user. In 2002 Gilead took in an incredible $226 million, almost half its annual revenue, from Viread...

We were the only ones to do it, and we are proud. I think we are making some headway, though, with the idea that anti-Americanism and anti-globalization are not progressive politics but are pure ideological trash...
