...everyone infected by the virus will develop AIDS. "There is clearly a spectrum of outcomes," says Jerome Groopman of Harvard Medical School. While some individuals will develop the full-blown syndrome, others will simply manifest the flulike symptoms of AIDS-related complex (ARC), a condition marked by swollen glands, weight loss and weakness. While no patient has been known to recover from AIDS, there is new evidence, according to Dr. Jeffrey Laurence of Cornell Medical College, that some ARC patients do get better...
...Allies begin to recapture territory, local politics keeps dividing them. Churchill supports Charles de Gaulle as the leader of Free France; Roosevelt dislikes and distrusts the general. "The day he arrived [in Casablanca]," F.D.R. comments bitterly, "he thought he was Joan of Arc." And when De Gaulle keeps pressing his claim to govern North Africa, Roosevelt explodes, "Why doesn't De Gaulle go to war? Why doesn't he start [marching]?

Winding his Rhine-wide shoulders, he hurled the platter in a high arc and hit a personal best of 166 ft. 9 in. Thompson's first two throws were stubby line drives, neither exceeding 140 ft.

Now Sir Peter has devised an adaptation of George Orwell's Animal Farm. As in Jean Seberg, masks abound, with the actors simulating Orwell's heroic horses, quisling chickens and Stalinist pigs (led by David Ryall as Squealer). It is all very faithful...
...strange arc has raised only questions, not answers. Once gravity was thought to be the sole force shaping the large scale of the galaxy. Now it has lost some more of its supremacy to whatever molded the giant ribbon of gas. Listening to the radio waves crackling noisily from the center of the galaxy, astronomers were sure that the bulge of dust was a maternity ward for new stars. Now the strange arc has revealed itself as one mighty source of those waves, raising the startling possibility that the middle of the Milky Way is a barren womb. Seeking...
