Both domestic-welfare and foreign-aid policies, he reasons, should be oriented more toward self-help and less toward the dole approach.

Known as melioidosis, it was first discovered in Southeast Asia in 1911, but it is practically brand-new to Americans. Though some of its symptoms (cough, fever, weight loss, chest pain and spotting on lung X rays) are similar to those of tuberculosis, it is an entirely unrelated illness.
