...best-selling sedan, the Camry. Its fuel-sipping hybrids, like the Prius, are the hottest cars on the market, commanding premiums and long waiting lists. The folks who snickered when Toyota launched a youth brand, Scion, by importing funky compacts from Japan like the xB, are racing to develop their own hipster cars. Toyota is doing a bang-up job financially, forecast to post profits of $10.8 billion in its 2005 fiscal year, according to Prudential Equity Group. The company is gunning for 15% of the global market by 2010, which would most likely vault Toyota past...
...everyone infected with the AIDS virus develops the deadly syndrome. Most develop a seemingly peaceful coexistence with the virus, says Dr. James Curran, who heads the CDC task force on AIDS. "They have no symptoms at all or very minimal symptoms, but they have persistent infection and are probably persistently infectious to others." Another group suffers a mild version of immune-system depression, with symptoms and signs that include malaise, weight loss, fevers and swollen lymph nodes. This syndrome, called AIDS-related complex, or ARC, sometimes but not always develops into full-blown AIDS...
...study. "That's the million-dollar question," says Dr. Michael Lange of St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. The guess is that 5% to 10% of people who do not have symptoms but do have antibodies to the virus (meaning they have been exposed) will develop AIDS within five years. There is no way to tell which ones will get it. "It's like Russian roulette with one bullet and ten chambers," says Ronald Sanders of the Los Angeles health department. For people with ARC, the odds of developing AIDS within three years may approach...
However, the tests have created a few problems of their own. Because they merely detect the presence of antibodies to AIDS (which proves only that exposure has occurred), they cannot determine if a person currently has the live virus, is capable of spreading it or is likely to develop the disease. Nonetheless, the perception persists that the tests can be used for diagnosis. Health officials fear that homosexuals and other high-risk individuals will volunteer to give blood simply to get themselves tested. This would increase the chances that AIDS-contaminated blood could enter the donor supply through a slipup...
Ellen DeGeneres calls you an influence. Do you see it? I influenced Ellen, but Ellen then developed her own sound. People would say to me, "Do you stammer, or did you develop it?" That was just the way I talked. I didn't say, "There's no stammerer out there in comedy. There's an opening...
