...issue of transmission of body fluids: A case was made that laboratory studies of the virus, such as which fluids contain virus or which cells can be infected, do not permit extrapolation to predict transmission under natural circumstances. The finding that tears sometimes contain virus does not mean that the virus is transmitted by tears. Knowledge regarding transmission can only be acquired using the tools of epidemiology--the observation is that several million days of contact between AIDS patients and health care providers has not resulted in infection other than by needle stick...
Barbara A. Rockett, president of the Massachusetts Medical Society, said that some physicians were resuming their services with the understanding that the state legislature would take action before the first payments on their insurance were due. "I would predict there will be utter chaos [if the legislature does not act]" she said...
...next year's State of the Union, I predict that Reagan will focus on the elderly. Our future hero will have rejected relief during the Great Depression, despite being unemployed and having to support 10 kids. He will have joined the army during World War II but will have refused to take advantage of the G.I. Bill because he has always loathed the idea of using the government's money for self-improvement.

They didn't have a teenager among them. Maybe studios will begin to rethink their policies." Kaufman dares to predict "a return to movies about relationships. The mood has changed; the divorce rate is dropping. I see 40-year-old couples standing in movie lines again, for Out of Africa and The Color Purple. Remember, even studio bosses are human beings. They want to be able to tell their grandchildren...
...astonishing numbers to Aquino rallies, her campaign organizers extolled the local outpouring as "people power," an antidote for the highly organized and often unscrupulous campaign machine that has kept Marcos in office since 1965. Members of the President's ruling New Society Movement, who had heard their leader predict an 80-20 victory for himself, were shading that estimate back to 60-40. At least two senior members of Marcos' Cabinet were even more cautious, predicting only a 55-45 win for the President. Exulted Linggoy Alcuaz, an official of one of the country's myriad splinter opposition parties: "There...
