...receive a shot of vaccine, manufactured by the Immune Response Co. of Carlsbad, California, that is supposed to boost their flagging immune system and decrease the amount of virus circulating in the blood. But new research, reported last month by teams led by Dr. David Ho of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center in New York City and Dr. George Shaw of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, suggests that this so-called therapeutic-vaccine approach may be the wrong way to go. They found that even during the early stages of infection, the immune system is already working hard...
Matt proposes in typically adorably awkward fashion, "I was thinking maybe you'd want to get married." He offers her his mother's napkin ring, explaining that he knew she wouldn't go for the "big diamond" thing. This scene is absurd enough to be reminiscent of your own life, while still lacking that tiresome Nora Ephron-y-this-dialogue-is-so-real-you-would-have-s aid-it-yourself-if-only-Meg-Ryan-hadn't-come-out-w ith-it-first flavor...
...flattered with a few minutes in which to say their piece on the air, then insulted into oblivion. Tangle with WABC's hosts, and you risk the sharp end of their shtick. Grant: "Ah, get off the phone, you sick degenerate!" Lyn Samuels: "Oh, shut up!" Jay Diamond: "Are you on anything? How do I know you're not poppin' speedballs?" And so it goes on politically perplexing insult radio. "A lot of talk-show hosts are opportunistic twits," says David Brudnoy, the gay libertarian (with AIDS) at Boston's WBZ. And the listeners hover on the brink...
...Baseball Strike. Say it ain't so. A labor squabble accomplished what the Depression, two World Wars and an earthquake couldn't: it snuffed out the World Series. The strike killed a season of white-hot pennant races and on- the-diamond superlatives (Ken Griffey Jr. and Matt Williams were making credible runs at Ruth's home-run record; Tony Gwynn aimed to join Ted Williams in the .400 club). It also proved the only stat that baseball's millionaire players and multimillionaire owners really care about is the bottom line...
That explains why TIME's first list of young leaders did not appear in the '40s, '50s or '60s but in 1974. By then cracks had marred the diamond's surface. "Don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters," Bob Dylan sang in 1965, coincidentally staking out his own rogue claim to leadership. QUESTION AUTHORITY, added an unknown sloganeer. Vietnam and Watergate further confused and corroded. Nixon was a month from resigning. America, TIME suggested in 1974, seemed plagued by "a sense of unease, not only of giants having departed but also of mere competence being all too scarce." When...
