...editorial attacked programs which issue placebos to people with AIDS when testing inexpensive low-dose AZT treatments in Africa, on the grounds that failing to offer treatment is akin to the notorious Tuskegee experiments on men with syphillis ? for which President Clinton recently apologized.

A Child's Night Dream should do that: it's a big, toxic dose of undiluted Oliver. But don't take his word for him.
