...promise, no one expects that CD4 will cure AIDS. Yet the drug is a potentially important new weapon in a growing arsenal of treatments. Researchers are learning how to use AZT more effectively to interrupt the virus' life cycle inside a cell. Probably the best hope for a successful AIDS treatment lies in a combination of these and other drugs...
...campaign that Bush's later manner was established in people's minds -- that mishmash of cultures partly assimilated, that belongingness more yearned for than achieved, that having had too little effect in too many places -- so that different styles stumble over one another and interrupt his words when he tries to speak. He had developed a highly idiosyncratic style, surpassed only by Al Haig's. He was now the man who could say at Auschwitz, "Boy, they were big on crematoriums, weren't they...

The group, which included Treasury Secretary James Baker and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, recommended only one significant safeguard: a so-called circuit breaker that would interrupt trading in most U.S. financial markets for one hour if the Dow fell 250 points from the | previous day's close and for two hours if it dropped 400 points. In congressional testimony later in the week, Greenspan defended stock-index arbitrage and computer trading as forces for stability rather...
