Some 70% of the 7,136 U.S. women known to have AIDS are black or Hispanic, as are 75% of the 1,341 children who suffer from the disease. In Spain most of the 80 or so children with AIDS were born to mothers with heroin addictions. Observes Professor Delgado Rubio, the head of a center for pediatric AIDS in Spain's Basque country: "It is particularly cruel that children are brought into this world already infected with an illness from which their parents could have saved them."

Lunging at one of three newly arrived policemen, he was shot dead. Afterward, John Cardinal O'Connor recalled that he had touched and blessed Delgado when he noticed the man looked disturbed at Mass that morning. In a city where tens...
...Last December Luis and Maria, co- workers at the local Fix-It Shop, were acting funny. "Why would grownups need to hold hands to cross the street?" Big Bird wondered. Love was in bloom on Sesame Street, and last week, despite the ominous date -- Friday the 13th -- Luis (Emilio Delgado) and Maria (Sonia Manzano) were married in a ceremony attended by all their friends, both human and Muppet. "It's a simple message we're dealing with," said Lisa Simon, one of the show's producers. "You become a family by forming bonds. That's what love is." However, there...
