Using an electron microscope, a team of researchers at the University of California at Davis isolated the virus from the blood of monkeys infected with simian AIDS. In the current issue of Science, Virologist Preston Marx and his colleagues report that when the virus was injected into healthy monkeys, the animals developed the disease. The virus belongs to a family known as retroviruses, which are prime suspects as the cause of human AIDS. Said Marx of the discovery: "It gives us a marvelous opportunity to understand how a specific virus can attack the immune system and destroy...

The old liberal ideology has faced severe strains over recent decades in America, becoming the target for dissatisfied Blacks, women, gays, radicals, and others. All of them said basically that the flow is one-way. The lines of money, education, social goods have...
