Such individuals obviously live under a dark cloud of medical uncertainty; how many of these individuals will go on to develop AIDS or AIDS Related Complex (ARC) is currently unknown. The latency period between infection and disease, though still not precisely known, can be at least as long as five years...
...Burroughs Wellcome Co. in collaboration with medical specialists and AIDS experts, began in February and was scheduled to end in December; it involved 282 subjects. Some were victims of AIDS who during the previous four months had also suffered their first bout of PCP. The remaining subjects had ARC (AIDS-related complex); although they were infected with the AIDS virus, their symptoms were not as severe as those of full-blown AIDS. Each patient took a capsule every four hours. For slightly more than half the group, those capsules contained AZT. For the control group, the capsules contained a placebo...
...Burroughs Wellcome, Samuel Broder and his colleagues at NCI and other institutions tested AZT in late 1984 and early 1985 on AIDS- infected human cells in the test tube and found that it seemed to interfere with viral reproduction. Subsequently, they began testing the drug on 19 AIDS and ARC victims, and early this year reported in the British journal Lancet that the subjects had shown remarkable improvement. There was, however, at least one troublesome side effect: a reduction in their blood-cell counts. It was as a result of this early work that Burroughs Wellcome requested and was given...
People-to-people exchanges of this kind can all too easily arc off into the stratosphere of goodwill. American participants are often at a curious disadvantage. They lean toward the view that both sides are to blame. Their Soviet counterparts agree with half of that proposition, eagerly endorsing any American selfcriticism while promulgating the doctrine of Soviet infallibility...
...keenest here, using a country boy's dream mansion, which turned into a mausoleum, as an ironic counterpoint to Homeless, sung a cappella with South African Gospel Group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The rhythms washing over Graceland are infectious and inflective enough to shame rap silly, from the lovely, funky arc of Diamonds On the Soles of Her Shoes to the spooky snap of The Boy in the Bubble. African musicians appear on nine of the album's eleven tracks, but Simon has pulled off something much more here than a little groovy ethnomusicology. He has found a new wellspring...
