...made possible by importing generic versions, a mass treatment campaign would be a mammoth expense to the cash-strapped government. Simply providing the medical infrastructure to supply the drugs to some 5 million people, many of whom live in conditions of abject poverty that increase their vulnerability to all manner of infection could require billions of dollars of investment. Even now that it has been cleared to import generic drugs, the South African government has not yet indicated whether it will undertake a mass treatment campaign based on generic anti-retrovirals, or confine itself to importing drugs to treat opportunistic...
...aggressive. "Sometimes they're so close you can see their faces," David Cecka, Aviation Electronics Technician 2nd Class onboard the downed plane, had told his mother. It got so bad that U.S. officials complained. "We went to the Chinese and said, 'Your aircraft are not intercepting in a professional manner.

...difficult to understand why, against that backdrop, the Chinese have acted in such an intransigent manner in the latest dispute. The accident occurred in international airspace between a slow, bulky Navy plane and a Chinese F-8 fighter jet. The insinuation by the Chinese that the Navy plane caused the accident is almost laughable. Such an explanation is like blaming a snail for running into an ant. It was the Chinese who decided to fly dangerously close to the U.S. plane in international waters. Moreover, earlier this week word came that the U.S. plane was on autopilot at the time...
