    Slowly John slowly...

    Witness "Gleevec" as progress against very specific
    types of cancer.

    When we *really* understand something we can beat it.

    I would predict the next progress would be with respect
    to preventing HIV from gaining access to cells (we know
    too much about the receptors it needs to gain entry).

    After that malaria (Plasmodium) is going to take a huge hit
    (we have the genomes of all of its various stages now).

    Step by step, inch by inch...
