[单项选择] There are chilling parallels in two catastrophes that threaten the fabric of American life -- AIDS and drugs. AIDS destroys genetic immunity: drug addiction paralyzes the immune system of the body politic, preventing society from responding to evil, by taking political action. The irony of the malign perversities at work is that the war on drugs is ensuring the spread of AIDS. We had better understand the way this is happening and decode which is the lesser of two evils or they will both engulf us. The war on drugs presently takes priority in the public mind. This is, wholly understandable. No city in America, it seems, can afford enough police officers, enough firepower, enough judges and enough jails to stamp out the criminal behavior of thousands who distribute, buy and use cocaine or crack. Drug pushers are as visible as and more frequent than local newsstands. Some police, forces have acknowledged that parts of their cities are no-go areas where the guns and bombs of th

The Internet’s computers and high-speed connections reflect 20th-century computer science, information theory, and materials technology.

It underscores the relevance to our own time of the struggles of Samuel Morse in America, William Cooke in England, and other telegraph pioneers.
