Highlighting the actions of Bono and the Gateses brings hope to solving the global health crisis. Having practiced medicine for almost 50 years, mostly in France, I recently returned from a teaching mission in sub-Saharan Africa.

I am reassured to read that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation demands strict accountability from its grantees. ALBERT FOURNIER Amiens, France

Jolie's notoriety is now a charitable asset. If you could place a dollar value on a broken marriage, Jennifer Aniston could claim a monster tax deduction...
...HIV/AIDS pandemic is growing in almost every corner of the globe, but it is an especially great threat to human life in sub-Saharan Africa, home to more than 60 percent of those currently infected. Already the poorest region in the world, sub-Saharan Africa continues to see its efforts at economic growth frustrated by a disease that kills farmers, teachers, and businessmen in the prime of their working lives. And HIV/AIDS reserves an especially cruel toll for society’s most vulnerable. Gender discrimination, physiological susceptibility, and economic inequality have combined to affect a profound demographic shift...
