...this good news on the ARV front, however, is in stark contrast to the slower progress being made on an AIDS vaccine. "What we're seeing now with ARVs is the result of investments that were made 10 years ago," says Dr. Seth Berkley, president and CEO of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, a leading HIV vaccine developer.

What apparently went on at DePauw University late last year was a scene straight out of the history books: unabashed, ugly discrimination. In a scene that belied fifty years of progress on American college campuses, 23 of the 35 women of the DePauw chapter of the Delta Zeta (DZ) sorority, including every overweight member, and the only black, Vietnamese, and Korean members, were summarily uprooted from their house and effectively evicted from their chapter, by many accounts part of an image makeover mandated by adult officers of DZ’s national organization.

Every society has its own dynamic history of progress or regress that must be considered on its own terms. Living on less than a dollar a day isn’t so bad if your cost of living is much lower. Who is better educated: the illiterate African who can recite epic poetry and oral history for days without pause, or the literate American who never reads anything but comics and the McDonald’s menu?
