...find homosexuality repugnant, disgusting and morally wrong. However, the attitude and behavior of those, especially health professionals, who refuse their services to homosexuals are even more deplorable. Homosexuals need help, not hatred. Whether AIDS is a scourge from God is not clear. What is evident is that sexual promiscuity is dangerous, and that danger must outweigh whatever transitory pleasure is gained...
...impossible. In portraying his hero's frustrations, First Novelist Robert Plunket successfully establishes the kind of moral guidelines essential to classical comedy. Weiner's plotting only seems to bring him closer to his goal; he is, in fact, punished every time he slips into cruel or unusual behavior. Seducing Jonica means that he also is obliged to listen to her: " 'I have to trust. I have to feel,' she told me. I have to go to bed, I thought. Never had I heard such tripe."

Two of these, however, played a part in the decision not to prolong the flight another day or so in hopes of homing in at Kennedy. They involved some brief, balky behavior by one of the shuttle's three auxiliary power units (APUs). The small engines provide the hydraulic pressure for operating the craft's landing gear, flap, braking rudder and other flight-control systems. The APUs have been troublesome on previous flights...
