This method of retort, I fear, has been largely effective, and not only in this instance. It has not succeeded in preventing the sensitizing of language or the broadening of the curriculum, but it has succeeded in stripping these actions of any moral force.

Student activists criticized the Verba Committee throughout the fall, saying that they were skeptical about the results it would produce.

Women who are part of the drug scene often transmit the virus to their unborn children, almost surely dooming them to an early death. Some researchers fear that AIDS could eventually spread, through heterosexual intercourse, from addicts to the population at large. But so far the epidemic has confined itself, for the most part, to gay communities, to the drug cultures of inner cities, and to hemophiliacs and others who have received tainted blood products and transfusions...
