...heterosexuals who have a large number of sexual partners." Virologist Myron Essex of the Harvard school of public health thinks that as many as one out of every 20 people is infected (though not necessarily ill) in Africa's "AIDS belt," which also includes parts of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Some researchers see this as "a foretaste" of what will occur in the U.S., but many disagree. They point to Third World conditions that may promote the disease. Among them: the presence of feces in drinking water, the use and reuse of unsterilized needles in many small clinics and, possibly...
...debate over global trade. She goes wherever the T shirt goes, and there are surprises around every corner. In China, Rivoli shows why a clothing factory, despite its harsh conditions, represents a step toward personal freedom for the women who work there. In the kaleidoscopic used-clothing bazaars of Tanzania, she realizes that "it is only in this final stage of life that the t-shirt will meet a real market," where the price of a shirt changes by the hour and can vary by its size and even color. Rivoli doesn't allow the charts and capsules of economic...

"The law will be applied to everybody," says Domitilla Mukantaganzwa, executive secretary of the National Jurisdiction for Gacaca Services.

...sound boring, a topic best relegated to policy wonks and academics. But of late, the subject has seemed almost, well, sexy. At the annual meeting of world leaders at Davos, Switzerland, in January, one of the most exciting moments followed an impassioned speech by President Benjamin Mkapa of Tanzania, who proclaimed that his country can do nothing about poverty so long as it is burdened with heavy debt payments. Sharon Stone leaped to her feet and called for the stunned audience to help--and promptly raised some $100,000. But after the stars fade from the headlines, it's easy...
Here are a couple of examples. The friend of mine who just came back from Tanzania wrote in an e-mail that “…being stuck in a box with nothing but the BBC makes for a postmodern haven that is, at moments, unfulfilling. I fear I’ve also come to the realization that Cambridge, Mass. is a better place to study Africa than the continent itself, unless one really knows what s/he is doing. I’m afraid I feel guilty enough about receiving school credit for the classes I took this...
