Much of the case will rest on the significance of subtle differences between the French and American viruses. Gallo insists that his virus is too genetically distinct to have been derived from the French strain. But according to James Swire, an attorney for Pasteur, "there is a body of scientific opinion" that disagrees. Swire has been seeking lab notebooks and memos from the NIH, under the Freedom of Information Act. So far, he says, "we've found lots of things that strengthen our complaint and nothing that damages it." Among the findings: a photograph illustrating one of Gallo...
...people have been killed in clashes with police and by fire bombings and brutal "necklacings," in which young radicals place gasoline-filled tires around the necks of suspected traitors to the antiapartheid cause and burn them alive. But the anger is deeply rooted, and recently a new strain of violence has begun to emerge in the black communities. Groups of conservative blacks, angered by radical tactics, are starting to strike out at other blacks. No one knows exactly how many of the locally organized vigilante cells exist.

Driver and crew get as little as 75 min. between races to strip down a devastated dragster and make it run faster than it did before...
...them no harm. Essex's team identified the monkey virus last year and speculated that it had first spread to humans who ate monkey meat or were bitten by the animals. Somewhere along the line, Essex hypothesizes, the virus mutated into the lethal AIDS-causing form. His newly discovered strain might be one of several intermediate forms that arose as the virus mutated. Says Essex: "I predict there will be other viruses in the spectrum...
