...funded campaign featuring TV ads with the word AIDS chiseled on a gravestone. "Don't die of ignorance," blares the accompanying voice. (Condoms, however, are not mentioned.) Detailed information is in leaflets being sent to the nation's 23 million homes. Denmark and Norway are matter-of-factly running explicit pro-prophylactic TV spots alongside ads for traffic safety and medical care. One cartoon commercial depicts a small i in the word AIDS that reaches full capital size when covered with a condom. West Germany is also in the midst of an all-out campaign to promote condoms.

In fact, said Reagan, "he has made it plain that he will stay as long as I want him -- and I want him." Most probably Shultz never did make an explicit threat to resign -- but then he did not have to. The President could ill afford to have it said that his Iranian policy had driven his highly respected Secretary of State out of the Administration...
