Gates Foundation gives over $250 million to researchers in 19 countries in order to facilitate search for an AIDS vaccine: “The grants are the largest private investment in making such a vaccine, the foundation said.

The money will be given over five years to 16 scientific teams, including two New York groups. The scientists applied for the grants before Warren E.

Meanwhile, female golfers get a four-page article devoted to them.”
