Sometimes business opportunities may spring from unexpected sources. When Dennis Fried, 56, of Osprey, Fla., retired at 52, having become bored with his six-year job as a director of information development for a software company, he decided to start a consulting practice.

To put it in perspective, some AIDS activists point out that the U.S. is still planning to spend some $30 to $40 billion on the much-troubled V-22 Osprey troop-carrying helicopter. (In that sense, South Africa may indeed be following Washington's example.) Such dramatics aside, there's clearly a problem here. The wealthy nations want to see fiscal discipline in the developing world as the precondition for aid and investment, and most of the developing world's leaders are happy to oblige. But AIDS is a full...
