...this one is aimed at. But SATC - a continuation of the HBO babes-in-bonding series that ran for six seasons and ended in 2004 - is already sold out for many of its midnight shows tonight and evening performances on Friday. .. The film is clearly a lifeline for the Sex-deprived. By Sunday, if the early buzz translates into huge ticket sales, Hollywood may have to consider a new truism: there's instant girl power at the movies...
...China also faces one of the most skewed sex ratios in the world: men outnumber women 1.2 to 1. The male surplus, which means many Chinese men will never be able to have a family, creates an ominous future; already, an underclass of young male thugs is proliferating in Chinese cities, a group easily recruited for crime.

Along the way, Pisani draws on anecdotes from her time chatting with transvestite hookers, rich-kid junkies, epidemiologists and policymakers in Indonesia, where she spent...
...avoidable - actions of human beings. Mali is poorer than South Africa, and Bangladesh is poorer than Kenya; yet Mali and Bangladesh have low HIV rates. Fighting AIDS through poverty alleviation has so far had little impact on disease spread, Pisani argues.
