...those fears were realized in April, when the city of Hollywood, Fla., announced that it would use the AIDS test as a routine part of screening job applicants. "Candidly, we're not looking to hire somebody who may have an adverse impact on our health insurance," said Herbert Chernov, Hollywood's personnel director. "To consciously hire someone who may be dying would be foolish from a financial point of view." The city backed down when its plan was criticized by newspapers, doctors and gay leaders...
Vice-Admiral Yevgeni Chernov knows the pain and anguish of losing a nuclear submarine. Once, as commander of the 1st Nuclear Submarine Flotilla of the Soviet Union's Northern Fleet, Chernov kept his flag on the Komsomolets. In April 1989, when Chernov was a professor at the Naval College, his former flagship sank in the Norwegian Sea. For the last nine years, the 71-year-old Hero of the Soviet Union who spent 33 years in nuclear submarines has been heading the Charity Foundation in Memory of the Komsomolets (echernov@online.ru). But Chernov today is focused on the fate...

...There never was any real design, or intention to accomplish this mission," Chernov told TIME. It was Chernov who publicly insisted that the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office (CMPO) should forbid severing the bow from the dead submarine, as the cut would go through the hole in the hull caused by explosion, destroying forensic evidence that may point to the cause of the deadly accident. So far, the CMPO had kept mum. However, Novye Izvestiya, a well-informed Moscow- based daily, reported Thursday that the CMPO did indeed rule out cutting off the nose section. The CMPO would not confirm...
