Ignoring this fact, ignoring the AIDS realities and stigmatizing HIV-positive individuals is a form of genocide. No, this is not genocide like is Bosnia or World War II Germany: That would imply that there is someone to blame. When we ignore the reality and place blame, we are killing ourselves. It is but a question of power. Those in power, primarily on Capitol Hill, have over the past two years made proposals to cut funding for AIDS research and prevention. Yes, there are more medications on the market today, but that does not mean we have found the cure...
...fact that Schiller, Toobin and Cochran are all published by Random House, Inc., has not tempered their Bosnia-like, three-way war. When Cochran finishes attacking Schiller, he has a few choice words to say about Toobin: "His opinions really are racist in their implications: that the jurors weren't very smart, that I'm this charismatic fellow that goes around and convinces people of stuff." Cochran simply denies a big scoop in The Run of His Life, that shortly after the murders, he told a friend Simpson should plead guilty...
Peace in the Middle East and Bosnia may be elusive, but the Clinton Administration has brokered a sensitive cease-fire in Louisiana. Vice President Al Gore flew to Baton Rouge last Friday to preside over the reconciliation of two Democrats: Senate candidate Mary Landrieu and Congressman Cleo Fields, the state's leading black politician.

But the stakes are high in Louisiana's closely contested Senate race, which pits Landrieu against conservative Republican Louis ("Woody") Jenkins. When Fields finally endorsed Landrieu last week...
Tabloid journalism has played a major role in upending traditional news standards and dividing the audience. While upscale outlets like the New York Times and The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer cover the budget battles in Washington and the strife in Bosnia, more mass-audience-friendly publications and TV shows dig for details on Liz Taylor's health and Princess Di's divorce. Each time these tabloid stories seep into the "serious" press, it sparks another round of hand-wringing debate over whether news is what people "want" or what they "need." Many editors were privately dismayed at the massive amount...
...angered. Genocide aptly describes mass murders in Bosnia or Cambodia, not AIDS in America. The federal government already spends more per capita on AIDS research than on any other disease, and those funding levels suffered no real decrease under a Republican Congress the past two years. Nevertheless, protests that, "not one life can be lost" drown out suggestions that our real priorities lie with diabetes, heart disease and cancer research, ailments more widespread and less well funded...
