...John Conyers, now head of the Judiciary Committee, he still speaks dreamily about impeaching President George W. Bush but takes no action. He has studiously avoided putting anything radioactive on the agenda, including gun control, abortion and same-sex marriage. One of his subcommittees has issued subpoenas, but those are on the firings of the U.S. Attorneys by Bush's Justice Department and that is exactly the kind of congressional oversight that people voted for in the past election...

The new figures would put India back behind South Africa, which has 5.5 million HIV-positive people, and perhaps below other countries as well...
...study also finds that rates are highest among sex workers, IV drug users and men who have sex with men - a pattern more similar to that of the U.S. than that of Africa, where the disease has spread from the fringes into mainstream society. "The fear is that with high rates in certain groups that will still happen here," says Alexander. "My big concern is that a complex epidemic is being reduced to a soundbite...
