...defeat AIDS, and that even the potential success of prophylactic antiretroviral drugs is only one arrow in the medical quiver. "There are all kinds of variables," Greene cautions, including drug-resistance issues, evolving viruses, individual patterns of infection and complications due to other diseases like herpes, not to mention human behavior and cultural traditions that can interfere with prevention and treatment...
...still dominated by ads for second mortgages. Every day's mail still brings fat envelopes from companies begging to issue you a credit card.

Iraq, foreign policy, the military and treatment of veterans - these topics get him excited. In the domestic realm, he's fire and energy when he rails against pork-barrel spending. But mention other issues - taxes, health care, education policy - and he briefly resorts to talking points before changing the subject. "Obviously, the economy is a very, very vital issue," he told me. "There's no doubt about that, O.K.? But the issue that's going to be with us after the economy...
