ìAs AIDS Continues to Ravage, South Africa ëRecyclesí Graves,î by Michael Wines, New York Times, 29 July, p. A1.

Scary story. So many bodies pile up in some parts of South Africa that graves in cemeteries are being recycled, meaning old bones are dug up and new bodies put in.

If South Africa is to fall out of the Core, it will be because of AIDS, and this should be a scary lesson to all New Core states facing rising HIV populationsómeaning Russia, India, Brazil and China.
