Washington observers report a French physician study finding 50 percent or more HIV positive in seven Central African armies. The piece argues for redefining national security away from state-to-state diplomacy toward global health, preventive diplomacy, and expanded aid. The HIV subtype common in Africa may spread to the West, prompting urged reforms and training for relief workers.

Park preservation versus historic listing debate letters
Carolyn Bailey Berneking argues the city must both preserve South Park and place it on the historic register to prevent further whittling away. She cites past encroachments, from 1867 to 1976, that reduced park land and built structures, urging adherence to the 250 foot boundary to deter unsuitable development. She ties park history to the city’s history and urges preservation.
