"We really got started, Jimmy. Bono knows what he's doing."
 -- U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, R-NC, in 2002

He was speaking to his chief of staff, Jimmy Broughton, right after he
met with U2 band member Bono to discuss ways to stop the AIDS epidemic
in Africa. The issue was one of Helms's projects toward the end of his
tenure in the Senate.  Helms insisted in his conversation with Bono
that the international private sector, not just Americans, must get
involved.
