Scientists, moreover, cannot guarantee that these trials will be risk free. If a vaccine is made from a whole AIDS virus, for example, there will be a slight danger that some of those vaccinated will get the disease. In 1955, during early testing of the polio vaccine, 80 children in California got the illness from improperly prepared shots. Even if the immunization works and produces large amounts of antibodies to HIV, participants will have to cope with the social stigma of being HIV positive. The antibodies generated by a vaccine are the same ones that doctors look for when they...
Baker thus was only being realistic when he asserted, "We are dealing with the most intractable problem, I think, that there is." He professed nonetheless to be encouraged even by the slight progress he made. Said the Secretary: "You have to crawl before you walk, and you have to walk before you run."

The pictures made the war seem remote and bloodless. But last week Saddam Hussein discovered the power of images. Photographers were allowed access to the tragedy that resulted when the allies bombed a building in Baghdad where hundreds had taken refuge. Those pictures -- and the ones on these pages from elsewhere in Baghdad and from Basra -- put the human impact...
