However, I would like to clarify two points made in the article that are blatantly erroneous and misleading. The first is the lead sentence, which claims that AIDS can be stopped "only when people exercise more caution in their social behavior," (according to one speaker at the forum). This is simply wrong. AIDS is known to be transmitted only through intimate sexual contact, blood transfusions, and the sharing of hypodermic needles. AIDS is not transmitted casually, and I for one cannot think of any "social behavior" that could expose one to the virus, virus...
...strong if superficial political appeal: by election eve, F.D.R. had backed down, assuring voters that he understood the need for tariffs. Protectionist politicking, however, could not save the Republicans in 1932. Smoot and Hawley joined Hoover in defeat. The Democrats dismantled the G.O.P.'s legislative handiwork with caution, using reciprocal trade agreements rather than across-the-board tariff reductions. The Smoot-Hawley approach was discredited. Sam Rayburn, House Democratic Speaker from 1940 until 1961, insisted that any party member who wanted to serve on the Ways and Means Committee had to support reciprocity, not protectionism...
Hurricane warnings are, no doubt about it, a lifesaving blessing. As alarms are meant to do, they usually nudge people into a state of alert caution. Naturally, they are often a bit scary.

Bringing accounts of fiendish 150-m.p.h. winds--and coming three weeks after capricious Elena had given the Gulf Coast states an ugly bashing--the National Hurricane Center warnings made plain that Gloria might whirl and dance up the heavily populated East Coast like some catastrophic dervish...

Mason urged members of the audience to communicate a message of caution to the public. His suggestions included abstinence from sexual intercourse with AIDS patients or members of "high risk groups," and the use of condoms, even though no clinical studies have proven that they prevent the transmission of the disease and to avoid using intravenous drugs...
