• "Think Again: AIDS," Foreign Policy: In the March/April issue, Tina Rosenberg, an editorial writer with the New York Times, examines the global fight against HIV/AIDS, "how we are winning and losing the battle" and common misperceptions about the disease (Rosenberg, Foreign Policy, March/April 2005).
  


• "A Global Health Equity Agenda for the G8 Summit," BMJ: Ronald Labonte, the Canada research chair at the University of Ottawa; Ted Schrecker, senior policy researcher at the University of Ottawa; and Amit Sen Gupta, a co-convener of the People's Health Movement, in the journal's March 5 issue discuss what they believe world leaders should commit to at the G8 summit in July in order to help developing countries to meet the U.N. Millennium Development Goals. The authors conclude that the G8 "must build on recent encouraging responses to the crisis in development and health and move toward explicit endorsement of a rights-based approach" (Labonte et al., BMJ, 3/5).
