...infection. Researchers know that after years of infection, there isn't a hiding place in the body that the virus hasn't penetrated. A cure must do much more than clear HIV from the bloodstream. It must remove the virus from the lymph nodes, the brain, the spinal fluid, the male's testes and everywhere else it may be hiding. Today's combination therapies work in the blood, but they don't reach into the brain or the testes very well...
...treated for more than a year. None of them show any trace of HIV in any of their blood. Ho has not forgotten, however, that zero does not always equal zero. He and Markowitz are looking for pockets of virus in the lymph tissue, the semen and the spinal fluid...
...forcing the patient to start the long treatment process all over again. But at least one of Ho's patients has agreed to stop taking his drugs in another year or two--after his doctors assure him that tests show no evidence of HIV in his lymph, semen, spinal fluid or elsewhere in his body. When he does, we will know, probably within a few weeks, whether the virus has returned or whether it is gone for good...
...many lay people would have recognized the name, since relatively few ordinary citizens read the publications of the funeral industry--with their ads for Eterna-Cribs, Frigid Fluid body bags, Velvetone Arterial solution and Hydrol Tissue Builder--in which Loewen and its competitors had long been subjects of debate.

Paul and Lise are represented on stage not only by singers (Philip Cutlip and Christine Arand in both productions) but also by three dancers, enabling Glass and Marshall to illustrate various aspects of their personalities simultaneously. Indeed, Marshall's fluid, shifting, molting steps stand in marked contrast to Glass's crystalline music, scored for three electronic keyboards and recalling the textures, if not the melodies, of Igor Stravinsky's Les Noces. The collaborators--Cocteau obviously excepted--call their work a dance-opera spectacle. But Les Enfants Terribles is neither grandiose...
