Thousands of years after tuberculosis ravaged ancient cultures stretching from Greece to Egypt, more than a century after the bacillus responsible for the disease was first identified and decades after the first antibiotic treatments, TB continues to survive, even thrive, in ever more aggressive forms.

Strache has said he would like to be Chancellor some day. Unless Austria's mainstream parties can find a way to share power and work together in a more effective and responsive way, he may eventually get his wish...
...risky place to do business, but that hasn't prevented a huge flow of international investments into the economy this decade. The question now is whether the country's latest bout of economic instability will frighten away, possibly for years to come, the foreign capital the country needs to thrive.
