...tomorrow I will have interviewed a goodly number of people who looked, on the basis of a preliminary perusal of the applications, [like they] deserve a closer look by the College library," Stoneman says. "What I will then do is set up a series of more extensive interviews with a smaller group of these people...

During the five days of the conference alone, 9,000 South Africans will be infected with HIV; 2,600 will see their HIV infection progress to full-blown AIDS; and a further 1,800 South Africans will die of the disease. Yet, in his keynote speech to the conferenceon Sunday, Mbeki again refused, to the consternation of the vast majority of the AIDS-treatment community, to unambiguously stress HIV infection as the cause...
