In a way, she was, for the sandy bottom held her in its grip. Twice the harbor master’s boat went out to her; the second time it brought off a number of the crew. It never occurred to the watchers on shore that the ship was in danger. She looked so calm and seaworthy. From time to time there was activity on board: When a land wind rose in the evenings, the tanker’s engines came to life.

China has been treating 5 ,000 patients and plans to expand the program to cover everyone in the country. South Africa’’s cabinet approved a plan that includes drugs for all who need them.

Indeed, China’’s program is already failing. One in five Chinese who have received antiretroviral drugs has already stopped taking them, which can lead to the creation of drug-resistant strains of the virus. China has only about 100 doctors nationwide with experience in treating AIDS. Healt
