 AB    Once epidemic, tuberculosis has re-emerged, often in newly
       drug-resistant forms. This public health threat calls for strong public
       action as well as improved private care. Action has been hampered by
       failures in public health infrastructure and legal-philosophical support
       for government intervention. Josephine Gittler's accompanying article
       usefully suggests rebuilding public-health agencies and adapting
       traditional authority and controls from the age of epidemics to take
       account of today's circumstances and sensibilities.
