TIME accompanied Ho and his team from the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center (ADARC) for two weeks earlier this year as he traveled from Kunming, the cosmopolitan capital of Yunnan province, where his drug-treatment and vaccine projects are based, to the remote border town of Ruili, where heavy heroin trafficking and a thriving sex trade create a perfect HIV breeding ground, to Beijing, for his meetings with party leaders, including the newly appointed Minister of Health, Wu Yi. Everywhere Ho went, his mission was the same: to persuade Chinese officials to step up their modest anti-AIDS efforts...
...quite so heart wrenching and at the same time inspiring as a man who loses his life while protecting those of others. Jonathan Luna had seemed such a man. An assistant U.S. attorney in Baltimore, Luna, 38, had spent weeks on a high-profile prosecution of two violent local heroin dealers.

Although everyone acknowledges tourism's success, many Maldivians?and international relief workers?charge that it has made multimillionaires of Gayoom's friends while official figures show that 42% of Maldivians earn less than $1 a day. And there's a hot fury reserved for Gayoom himself, whom they and Amnesty...
...John Belushi biography "Wired," Bob Woodward asked Dan Aykroyd why he joined Belushi in shooting heroin. Because, came the reply, it makes you feel wonderful - that is, before it kills you. Why would anyone take a drug simply because it kills you? The potential consequences have to be considered a side effect, however likely and looming, to whatever pleasure the drug offers...
