William Masters, Virginia Johnson, and their collaborator, Robert Kolodny, write the truth when, at the beginning of Crisis, they say that much that has been written on AIDS is incorrect. Even more of the writing on the subject is misleading. Unfortunately this study only adds to the mounting toll of misinformation the disease. Their claim that AIDS is "rampant" in the heterosexual population is unsubstantiated by their research; their treatment of the ways in which AIDS is spread is irresponsible, and their recommendations are ill-advised.

Not only were some of Teller's statements "technically incorrect," claims Woodruff, but "the optimistic schedules proposed by Dr. Teller for deployment of an X-ray laser weapon are impossible." Woodruff's accusations have split the lab into bitter factions; they have also cast doubt on the scientific integrity of Livermore, a facility founded with Teller's support in 1952, and cast a shadow over Reagan...
