...administered.) The drug's main advantage is its ability to prevent malaria-infected red blood cells from sticking together in a process called sequestration. When this occurs in the brain it can cause cerebral malaria, one of the most deadly forms of the disease. "It's just like Bangkok traffic in the mornings," says professor Nick White of Mahidol University in Bangkok, who led the study. "[Artesunate] reduces the traffic jam, which is what kills people." The study's results still need to be replicated in African children, by far the worst victims of the disease; it's possible they...

Bergstrom, with its 12,250-ft. runway, on which giant B-52 bombers could land, was ideal for the jumbo jets that carry the international air-cargo traffic Austin wanted to attract. So the city seized the opportunity, wading through mounds of federal red tape to have the base transferred to it and persuading reluctant airlines to relocate to a facility that would need extensive renovation for commercial traffic.
