...transmitters of the infection. However, at least 14 men have been infected by women, according to Mathilde Krim, a research biologist at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan, and health authorities are concerned about the possible role of prostitutes in spreading the epidemic. Curran thinks it may prove significant that "about 15% of the men whose cases remain unexplained have a history of sexual contact with prostitutes." The U.S. Army is also concerned about this risk, according to Dr. Robert Redfield of Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Soldiers, he says, "are largely...
Many of these experimental weapons, of course, may never find their way into the American arsenal. Some may prove impractical, while others may fail to win congressional funding. Only a fraction of past DARPA projects have been deployed. But the 27-year-old agency, which helped develop the cruise missile and the Stealth bomber, has had a powerful impact on strategic thinking.

Reagan's introduction of other topics does not improve the prospects for bargaining on this score, and his proposals on regional conflicts, although justifiable, are unlikely to prove negotiable. It is remotely possible that the Soviets, seeking a way to extricate themselves from the endless guerrilla war in Afghanistan, might at length agree to some U.N.-sponsored compromise on that subject. But there would be general astonishment if Gorbachev accepted the President's proposals for talks looking toward...
