...concern over what's happening in Africa and what could happen in other parts of the world," says Dr. Robert Gallo, director of the Institute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland's Biotechnology Institute. Gallo is credited, along with French scientist Luc Montagnier, with pinpointing the link between HIV and AIDS. "I don't want to say there was pessimism, but there was a realization that a lot of the critical issues - like providing follow-up studies and continuing care to the neediest countries - are about policy, and are out of the realm of AIDS scientists...
...center is trying to do what it could not do before: pluck obscure bits of information from the flood of often irrelevant or insignificant data and connect the dots to foil a major new attack. CIA scientists are investigating exotic supercomputer programs and artificial intelligence that might help analysts link hundreds of thousands of names, places and bank accounts. Teams have even been sent to pick the brains of Hollywood scriptwriters who dream up far-fetched terror spectaculars. When the analysts return to Langley, they comb their databases to see if al-Qaeda has the capability to carry out such...
When they dipped their oars into the Missouri River and started rowing west through Indian country almost 200 years ago, the captains were looking for something they would never find--because it wasn't there. The Northwest Passage, the fabled missing link in a continuous navigable waterway between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans, existed only in the explorers' minds, but its image was enough to move them forward, and that was enough to alter history.

...worked for the Army institute from 1997 to '99, and last summer--in a potentially fatal blow to his career--lost his government security clearance. Moreover, in 1999 Hatfill commissioned a study of a hypothetical terrorist attack in which anthrax is sent through the mail. He has another odd link to the case: the anthrax-filled letters sent to Senators Patrick Leahy and Tom Daschle had the same fictitious return address: 4th Grade, Greendale School, Franklin Park, N.J. There is no Greendale School in New Jersey. In the 1980s, Hatfill attended medical school in Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia), not far from...
...President's husband is now "de facto chairman" of the party, says senior M.P. Haryanto Taslam. Controlling the largest party in the country's legislature has given Taufik the opportunity to put those loyal to him in key positions, politicians and analysts say. The perception is that people linked to him?many of them men from his hometown of Palembang in Sumatra?run everything from key committees in parliament to agencies such as the state workers' pension fund to the debt recovery agency. And if his opponents are to be believed, hardly a major policy decision can go through...
