...disease that is either sterilized by statistics or ignored altogether. Each story reveals a government and culture that, like so many other nations, still denies HIV's impact. Yet even with its pages filled with so much injustice and pain, the book also contains its fair share of triumphant moments. An HIV-positive doctor who fought for - and won - his constitutional right to marry a "negative" woman; a group of HIV-positive children who found a home when no one else would take them, a sex worker who braves police corruption and abuse to spread condoms to her colleagues...
...take the time I was sent to obtain a copy of People Magazine that contained an important book review. Two Duane Reade’s and three subway stations later, I returned triumphant, with that week’s special “Brangelina” cover in hand. I was so confident in my ability to handle this simple task that I didn’t even bother to look inside the magazine. This was not treading water, or even mastering the ever-elusive cartwheel.

Instead, he finds himself struggling to maintain his political footing in the face of contending pressures that threaten to knock him off balance...
...most Chinese media were celebrating Beijing's Olympics successes, a magazine named Southern Window - a highbrow biweekly with a circulation of 500,000 - broke from the pack. On the cover of the magazine's Aug. 11 issue, there is no photograph of the sparkling Bird's Nest stadium, no triumphant Chinese athlete fondling one of the country's 51 gold medals. Instead, there is an illustration of law textbooks and a teacher with a wooden pointer giving instruction to a businessman and a government official. The cover line: "Rule of Law Starts with Limitation of Power." Sounds boring? In China...
