The global HIV/AIDS epidemic is an unprecedented crisis that requires an unprecedented response.

Then came the gadgeteer, otherwise known as the sporting-goods dealer. He has draped the American outdoorsman with an infinity of contraptions, all offered as aids to self-reliance, hardihood, woodcraft, or marksmanship, but too often functioning as substitutes for them.

Each item of outdoor equipment grows lighter and often better, but the aggregate poundage becomes tonnage.
