Just twenty-two countries account for 80 percent of all the world's tuberculosis, said Kenneth Castro, an assistant U.S. surgeon general and director of the division of tuberculosis elimination at the Centers for Disease Control. Castro told IRP Fellows that in some countries tuberculosis cases have become resistant to treatment by the usual medication. |

In addition to visiting the Centers for Disease Control and CNN, the IRP Fellows also had meetings at the Carter Center and the Coca Cola Company. At the Carter Center, Gordon Streeb, associate executive director for peace programs, described efforts to contain or prevent conflict in several areas of interest to IRP Fellows, including Sudan, Kashmir, Indonesia, Bolivia, and Peru. At Coca Cola, Robert Baskin, assistant vice president, described international operations by the soft-drink giant, and observed that the firm's potential market growth in China alone could conceivably "double the company's size."
