And yet the 10,000 researchers and others gathered in Yokohama, Japan, found it hard to shake a terrible sense of deja vu. Once again, despite their efforts, the epidemic is galloping ahead: from 14 million people infected worldwide in 1993 to 17 million today.

For the moment, perhaps the only way women can make their point is to take a few admirals down with the ship...
...first look at "Voodoo" comes, of course, from the jacket. The cover shows a primitive, zombie-like figure in the midst of a Mick Jagger-like shake of the hips. Inside are red-tinted, run-of-the-mill candid shots of Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood, looking about as old as the Moody Blues. Then again, Keith has looked like that for the last twenty years...
