...style theory does not, however, explain the emergence of AIDS in nongay populations. Most researchers now believe that an infectious agent is involved in AIDS. This agent is probably transmissible in a variety of ways, through lesions caused by anogenital sex, for example, or by dirty hypodermic needles. The hemophiliac cases raise the frightening possibility that it can also be transferred through blood transfusions. One model for such an agent is the hepatitis B virus, which commonly infects homosexuals, drug addicts, donor-blood recipients and, partly because of poor sanitary conditions, most Haitians. A few researchers speculate that the AIDS...
...necessarily put the worriers at ease. Reagan's soul is his own, yet what sort of soul is it? For those who have observed Reagan lo these many years, the answer is clearly and consistently a most conservative soul, notwithstanding the formulaic chitchat about his having once been a hemophiliac liberal, which is simply a device for implying that policies aside, his heart is still with the people.

In one key scene, for example, Rasputin sneaks up to the Tsarina as she prays for her hemophiliac son. Out of the shadows steps the "bony peasant, his face framed by long hair parted in the center and glistening with oil, his eyes emitting a kind of hypnotic sparkle." The Tsarina shakes "in a fit of nervous excitement" as they gaze at each other. The monk scoops...
...children at all. Others, hoping that the baby will be a girl, go ahead with a pregnancy. But once they learn through amniocentesis that the fetus is male, they will opt for an abortion. Even though there is a fifty-fifty chance that the boy will not be a hemophiliac, medicine has had no way of telling whether those odds would be in the parents' favor...
