excellent and inspiring article about third-world AIDS
problem and how Brazil is doing a good job fighting it by
copying the expensive treatment drugs.

"From the drug companies' point of view, the assembly lines
below Pinheiro's second-floor office are humming with the
violation of intellectual property rights, 40,000 times
an hour."
