Top headlines on major news sites as I write this:
BBC: India police name Mumbai gunmen.
CNN: Gov. tried to sell Obama Senate seat.
New York Times: Illinois Governor in Corruption Scandal.
They're all missing the most important story of the day, and probably the month:
Malaria vaccine may be available by 2012.
If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

it's like that article you posted on poop... the biggest killers are the least sexy... the largest life savers are about as equally unsexy.
The most significant achievements are probably the boringest too :-)
As one who has watched many die from malaria I couldn't agree with you more
