...weapons that can battle the virus at virtually every stage of its life cycle--not just in the final days but from the earliest months after infection. Says Dr. Warner Greene, director of the Gladstone Institute of Virology and Immunology in San Francisco: "It seems as if the tide is turning a little bit in our favor...
...tide of violence is threatening to further destabilize a region already badly traumatized by the Rwandan civil war. Since 1993, 250,000 Burundians, mostly Hutu, have escaped into Zaire and Tanzania, adding to nearly 2 million Rwandan refugees camped in those countries and refusing to go home. Earlier this month those numbers increased sharply when Rwandan Hutu from the Mugano and Ntamba camps, who had sought refuge in Burundi from their own civil war, fled fighting in the area and made for the Tanzanian border. Some 20,000 managed to get across. With an additional 130,000 increasingly anxious Rwandan...

Just because most scholars no longer accept Joshua's war of conquest, though, doesn't mean the question is settled by any means. Conservatives have plenty of ideas about how the tide could swing back to a more biblical interpretation. Experts like Abraham Malamat, a biblical historian at the Hebrew University, suggest that no evidence exists of destruction at Ai, for example, because the city was in a different location 3,000 years ago. Bryant Wood, director of the pro-Bible Associates for Biblical Research, insists that his own research supports Joshua's assault on Jericho. Perhaps, he suggests, Kathleen...
