...family tragedy resonated around the world. More than 5 million South Africans are HIV positive; the U.N. estimates that more than 600 of them die of the virus every day.

The documents had reportedly gone missing during a 1994 civil suit against the company, but were sent to the journal anonymously and are now being reviewed by U.S. drug regulators...
...impossible to know how many lives might have been saved if a tsunami-warning system had existed in the countries ringing the Indian Ocean. In the wake of the catastrophe, the U.N. announced that by next year it plans to link countries in South and Southeast Asia with the Pacific Ocean network that alerts countries like Japan, Australia and the U.S. when tsunamis pose risks to their territories...
