...gloom of AIDS is being eased somewhat by two drugs, AZT and pentamidine. In 1982 less than 30% of gay men diagnosed with AIDS in New York City lived more than 18 months. By 1987, after the introduction of AZT, survival at 18 months jumped to 62.9%. Says Michael Callen, a singer and songwriter who has had the disease for seven years: "We need to change our conception of AIDS. Not everyone dies of AIDS." Today about 70% of all AIDS deaths result from Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. But studies reported in Montreal confirm that pentamidine inhaled directly into the lungs...
...nearly all of them male homosexuals who contracted the disease through sexual contact. Such slender evidence is often taken as proof by desperate members of the homosexual community that they can overcome AIDS. "When people ask me what I do for a living," says Michael Callen, 33, a New York City musician who was discovered to have AIDS almost six years ago, "I say, 'Surviving is what...
...regard this as World War III," says Marberger. "I'm fighting it with every resource I have." Indeed, each of these men, in his own way, has found reserves of courage and strength in the battle against the virus. For New York Musician Callen, the battle is providing a new sense of purpose.

Yet in all its rural and urbanized forms, ranging from quiche to pasty and pitta to pizza, it can be a one-dish meal for all seasons, with all seasonings. Anna Teresa Callen, an Italian-born cookery writer and teacher who raises her dough in Manhattan, has the pie squared. In The Wonderful World of Pizzas, Quiches and Savory Pies (Crown; $14.95), she leads a cook's tour of pastry, piquant fillings and their origins. Some of her recipes inevitably show up in other books...
Some of the dishes captured by Callen are famous but hard to find outside of country cottages and inns. And they can be quite elegant. Torta Pasqualina, the Italian Easter pie from Liguria, is made with 33 layers of dough to symbolize Christ's age at his death. And there is Beautiful Aurora's Pillow, a pastry puffed up by the immortal Brillat-Savarin that combines pheasant, veal, pork, foie gras, Cognac and truffles, which might be accompanied by pinaattiohukaiset, a Finnish spinach pancake that is far easier to eat than pronounce...
