We sometimes struggle to explain the nature of this sea change that has made us more optimistic than ever before about our chances of finding a cure. Here’s one way to think about it. For many years, AIDS research focused almost exclusively on trying to define the enemy—mapping out the way in which HIV invaded the human body and set about destroying the immune system. It was a little like shining a flashlight in the dark. What you’re able to see appears with great clarity. The trouble is, you’re never really sure how vast the darkness is. The research progress we’ve made in the last few years has effectively switched on the lights. Now, at last, we can see where we’re going and chart a path forward. In fact, several potential pathways are now laid out before us.

  • John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) Topic Guide for Chronicling America (
    John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) Topic Guide for Chronicling America (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov) Introduction John D. Rockefeller was an oil industry tycoon and philanthropist who lived in Cleveland, Ohio. Born in New York in 1839, he moved with his family to northeast Ohio in 1853. At age sixteen, he began his involvement with the business world as an assistant bookkeeper for a produce commission business. He soon began his own produce commission company before joining the oil refinery industry in 1863. He established Standard Oil of Ohio in 1870, and this is where he made most of his wealth. By 1878, the company controlled 90% of all U.S. oil refineries (it was declared a trust by the U.S government in 1911). In addition to his business interests, Rockefeller regularly donated a portion of his income to charities supporting education and public health. Rockefeller died in 1937 and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. He is widely recognized as the wealthiest American of all time. Important Dates . July 8, 1839: John Davison Rockefeller is born in Richford, New York. 1853: The Rockefeller family moves to Strongsville, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. 1863: Rockefeller and business partner Maurice B. Clark build an oil refinery in “The Flats” area of Cleveland. 1864: Rockefeller marries Laura Celestia “Cettie” Spelman. January 10, 1870: Standard Oil of Ohio is formed and grows rapidly over the next decade, eventually forming a monopoly. 1903: Rockefeller’s General Education Board is founded. 1911: U.S. Supreme Court declares that Standard Oil Company of New Jersey is a trust, and it is broken into subsidiaries.

Its purpose is to assist policy makers, scholars, businessmen, the press and the public by providing objective analysis of national and international issues.

Institute publications take four major forms: 1. Studies-in-depth studies and monographs about government programs and major national and international problems written by independent scholars. 2. Legislative Analyses-balanced analyses of current proposals before the Con­ gress, prepared with the help of specialists in the fields of law, economics, and government. 3. Forums and Conferences-proceedings of discussions in which eminent authorities express contrasting views on public policy issues. 4. Reviews-timely presentations of informed opinion and information on the emerging issues of the day. COUNCIL OF ACADEMIC ADVISERS Paul W.
