There is still a long way to go, both in the quest for an effective treatment and in the search for a way to prevent infection in the first place. In the flush of the new optimism, some scientists are more hopeful about the prospects for gene therapy, which could possibly make the immune system impervious to HIV attack. Another promising line of research centers on a group of molecules called chemokines, which may one day be used to shield cells from HIV. Other scientists, including Ho, are intensifying their search for a vaccine. Two weeks ago, the nih increased...
...more precisely, it's a Madonna event, a crucial milestone in a career that has been "reinvented" so often that the very term has grown trite and useless. For this film--as she has not tired of telling us--Madonna went on an artistic and spiritual quest. She campaigned intensely for the role, taking just a measly--by movie-star standards--$1 million fee and even forgoing a percentage of the profits.

...Dole. At one point in his quest for the presidency, the Republican candidate told a crowd that as the head of the Red Cross, wife Elizabeth had seen many natural disasters, "and I'm not including my campaign in that."

But the despotic leader stood unbowed and seemingly unconquerable. Relentless in his quest, Djindjic decided to run for mayor of Serbia's capital, Belgrade. Three weeks ago, to the astonishment of many observers, he won. Then, to no one's real surprise, Milosevic reacted to his party's stunning defeat by ordering the courts to annul the election, in which 14 other city halls...
...blind organ-grinder making celestial music for a choir of angels. It is a version of the dream of unmediated childhood vision in the work of William Blake, "the noble English genius," as Beckmann called him, "a superterrestrial patriarch." It also represents the starting point of Beckmann's lifelong quest as a painter, his quest for the self, "the great veiled mystery of the world...
