Retrovir is a palliative, not a cure, and frequently causes serious side effects. Nonetheless, demand is expected to be strong, not only from the nation's 14,000 AIDS patients but from an even larger number with ARC (AIDS- related complex). The question before them: How to pay? About 40% of AIDS patients are covered by Medicaid. In New York and California, Medicaid officials have already decided to reimburse the cost of Retrovir treatment, but other states may choose not to pay for the drug...
Some scientists suggest that each arc might have been formed as a result of a huge explosion within a nearby galaxy. Expanding shock waves from this blast would have compressed surrounding gases, clumping molecules together and setting off the process by which stars form. But that process should produce bubbles -- that is, voids surrounded by a spherical "skin" of stars. These arcs are virtually two-dimensional strands of stars. Besides, astronomers have not detected enough gas in the area to have formed structures as large as the arcs...
...summer of the Liberation? The next time he writes the essay, Cat knows what kind of drivel to spill out: the joy of a good boy who sees the revival of the City of Light, who rejoices at the sight of the Eiffel Tower rising into the sky, the Arc de Triomphe hung with streamers.

To some the woman in yellow seemed a Joan of Arc, a religious figure incarnating her people's hopes as she led them to freedom; to others she was a Cinderella, with one glass slipper instead of Imelda's 3,000 pairs of shoes. Indeed, as startling as it may seem in the secular West, millions of devout Filipinos viewed Aquino as a sort of Blessed Mother, a redeemer who came to resolve the passion play that had begun with her husband's death...
