...estimate, as many as 20% of homosexuals still practice the riskiest sexual behavior, which is the taking of multiple partners; some still patronize bathhouses for brief, anonymous encounters. "Quite honestly, I'm dismayed," says Miami's Dr. Allan J. Stein, a family physician whose patient load is 30% gay. "I've been trying for three years to talk to these people. I wonder: Am 'I doing my job right? Maybe I should have yelled." Says Jeremy Landau, project coordinator of a counseling center in San Francisco: "Let's face it. Some people just don't find safe sex exciting...
Safekeeping (Penzler; 202 pages; $15.95) and Fletch Won (Warner; 265 pages; $14.95) display the astonishing range of Gregory Mcdonald. After winning two Edgar Allan Poe awards (1975 and 1977) for the first books featuring the raffish investigative reporter Irwin Maurice Fletcher, Mcdonald declined into extended archness of phrase and plot. He found his way again in last year's Flynn's In, featuring his other series character, Boston Police Official Francis X. Flynn.

...youngest member of the clerical vanguard is the Rev. Allan Boesak, 38, who achieved prominence in 1982, when he was elected president of the Geneva-based World Alliance of Reformed Churches, which has 50 million members. The following year Boesak helped establish the United Democratic Front to protest the government's plans for a new constitution. An emotional orator, Boesak has called on Christians to pray for the downfall of a government that he says is run by "the spiritual children of Hitler." Boesak, a married man, was harassed by allegations, reportedly planted by security police, that he was having...
...tell them we have nothing to offer," says Dr. Donald Abrams, assistant director of the AIDS clinic at San Francisco General Hospital. One major obstacle, researchers agree, is a lack of federal funds. "The Administration is giving lip service to this disease but not the funding," complains Immunologist Allan Goldstein of George Washington University. Federal allocations for AIDS research have risen steadily from $5.5 million in 1982 to $106.5 million this year, but much of the money has come at the expense of other health programs and much of the initiative has come from Congress, not the Administration.
