...resources to pay for the drug." Waxman is seeking $60 million in the 1988 budget, and $30 million this year, to help purchase drugs for indigent AIDS victims. If approved, these funds could help patients like Archie Harrison, 32, of New York City, who is caught in a vexing Catch-22. Harrison took part in a Retrovir trial and is now well enough to resume his career as an actor. But if he works, he may lose his Medicaid benefits. "AZT has gotten me to the point where I can think about a normal life," he says...

Gale and Evelle (lots of gender-bent names in this picture) lecture Ed on the importance of breast-feeding as a retardant to criminal behavior. Having kidnaped Nathan Jr. from the original kidnapers, Evelle...
...catch in immunity grants is that the prosecutor must prove he did not gain any evidence against the witnesses through their testimony. Walsh's staff has been stamping the date on any evidence it collects; before Poindexter and North testify, Walsh will send his material to district court to prove that his case was not influenced by their statements...
