During the '80s, several drugs were shown to inhibit the action of leukotriene. All these drugs, however, produced adverse side effects in humans. It wasn't until this year that a drug was found which reduced biological activity without toxic side effects...
...think it's really important to have that younger energy and certainly a lot of my inspiration came from ACTUP and from gay activism, what was happening particularly in the late `80s and early `90s. A lot of [that] was political, but there was also a certain amount of sexual activism that was going on, at least in San Francisco, where a lot of people who were involved in AIDS politics were involved also in a pro-sexual approach to life, were saying. "Let's separate the equation sex=death. [Let's] deal with our sexuality in a healthy...

...gunsels. And its penalties are steep: up to 20 years in jail for each criminal count and triple damages in civil judgments. RICO quickly proved a sterling Mob stopper, as dozens of capos like New York City's John Gotti can testify. But when lawyers in the mid-'80s realized how broadly written it was, it mutated wildly. Prosecutors turned it on white-collar criminals like junk- bond-king Michael Milken. Plaintiffs in normal civil suits (a famous one involved litigious rabbis) used it to extract lucrative awards or far better settlements. It was invoked in sexual harassment suits...
