I want a new drug
Article Abstract:
When the AIDS epidemic first struck, San Francisco was the first city to bear the devastating onslaught of the disease. As a result, the city's scientific community has become a mirror of a highly AIDS-conscious society. However, the city has not lost the distinctive unconventional and pioneering attitude that it is known for. An example of this attitude is the fact that the biggest private contribution for AIDS research came from a rock band, Huey Lewis and the News, who produced the hit song 'I Want a New Drug'. Despite the devastating effects of the disease, the city remains unbowed, and is rising to the challenge.

Ringing the changes
Article Abstract:
The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center is a world leader in electron-positron beam technology. At the forefront of its successes have been its electron-positron storage ring, SPEAR, which was instrumental in the discovery of the J/psi particle and the tau lepton. However, there is now a consensus that storage-ring technology has reached its upper limit. To move forward in particle physics research, particularly in unraveling the charge-conjugation-times-parity violation, linear colliders will have to be used. The Stanford Linear Collider is now the pioneer of the coming generation of particle accelerators.
