...experts applauded the findings as a crucial starting point for further research. Some say that as slight as it was, the vaccine benefit discovered in the trial may eventually help scientists develop a workable AIDS vaccine - a goal that has eluded them for more than two decades. "Having this signal - even if it's weak and even if we're debating whether it's a real signal or not - is a source of great hope," said Nicole Frahm, an HIV specialist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, while attending the annual AIDS vaccine conference in Paris this...

No country in Latin America--or anywhere else in the developing world--has hosted an Olympics since 1968, when Mexican soldiers massacred hundreds of pro-democracy demonstrators just days before the opening of the Mexico City Games. By tapping Rio, the IOC affirmed the widely held opinion that Brazil--a democracy and the only nation among the world's 10 largest economies never to have held an Olympics--is the first Latin country developed enough to give the region...
