...Poland and the Czech Republic, an idea that is opposed by Russia. "Ballistic missile testing coupled with Iran's continued refusal to cease its nuclear activities should unite the international community in efforts to counter Iran's dangerous ambitions," said McCain. These comments come as Obama continues to plan an overseas trip, meant both to burnish his foreign policy credentials and disable some McCain's criticism that he hasn't had a first-hand assessment of the conditions on the ground in America's theaters...
...They'll be a lot of shooting and I'll be in the middle of it," Johnson told an aide. "Why me?" Seven years later, West German leftists plotted to hurl pudding-filled balloons at Hubert Humphrey during his trip to the city; the police managed to disrupt the plan, but Humphrey was booed and heckled everywhere he went. And while history remembers Ronald Reagan's challenge to Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Wall, it's usually forgotten that Reagan's visit to West Berlin occasioned the worst rioting the city had seen since the 1960s, prompting officials...
...Beyond those concerns, Meyer, who says he learned of the plan just hours before it was announced, seems stung by the Department of Health's parachuting into his trench.

...fatality rate from the disease. "That's a damning indictment of our system," Frieden told TIME. "We're failing to get people tested during the time that they are without symptoms and during the time when they may be infecting other people."

But it'll have better luck if it can wrangle full support from community groups like CitiWide, whose deep roots in the borough provide access to the at-risk population the plan hopes to reach. Its supporters are hopeful, but realistic. "Changing paradigms is hard...
...fighting HIV, the new plan, which encourages but does not require testing, changes some of the accepted rules. New York state law requires that patients be counseled about HIV before they give consent for a test, a process that typically takes about 20 minutes. The Bronx plan will whittle that process down to five minutes or less in many emergency rooms; studies have shown reducing consent barriers can dramatically increase testing rates. "We can remove a hurdle that doesn't really serve a purpose anymore," says Dr. Donna Futterman, an AIDS specialist at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx...
