While they wait for the government and the drug companies to act, doctors and nurses have developed ingenious tricks to dilute adult-strength AIDS drugs and get them into kids. In some cases they chop up the capsules and mix the medication with applesauce or baby formula. But mashed up protease inhibitors taste so bitter that most kids just spit them out. So doctors are teaching children as young as 2 how to swallow the intact capsules...

When this scalding froth rises high enough to make contact with subterranean water, the water flashes into steam, turning the whole hellish mix into a natural pressure cooker. Finally, the explosively pressurized magma blasts out of the earth in an eruption that can send rocks, ash and gases flying out at near supersonic speeds. "The driving force of an eruption is gas," says Tilling. "Pressure builds up, some plug gives, and the whole...
