During the past decade, Mr. Wallace championed such psychoactive drugs as MDMA, or Ecstasy, donating up to $350,000 a year to groups studying the drug. "MDMA seems to help reduce the fear people have of really looking at themselves, and it really helps people communicate well," Mr. Wallace told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in May.

Did the Vikings Spread HIV Resistance?
The chemokine receptor CCR5 is one of two receptors on macrophages, an immune cell, used by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) early in the establishment of an infection. Individuals with two mutant copies of this receptor (homozygotes) have proven to have high, but not absolute, resistances to infection, while those with one copy (heterozygotes) have a delayed progression of AIDS.

Spermicide offers no HIV protection
A widely used spermicidal gel, which was thought to protect against HIV infection, has been shown to increase the risks of acquiring the virus. The discovery has prompted scientists and AIDS-awareness groups to call for a ban on the use of the spermicide Nonoxynol-9 in lubricants and condoms. They fear it gives users a false sense of protection.

War against drugs just isn't working
What do the following items have in common?
• We have embarked on yet another attempt to eradicate the coca crop in Colombia, a country beset by civil war.
• Law enforcement drew a direct link recently between terrorism and the drug trade, moving beyond those ill-reasoned TV spots and arresting suspects in the Midwest who were allegedly funneling proceeds to terrorist groups.
The simplistic view is that drugs, of course, connect all these items. What really connects them, however, is the black market in drugs.
