...more than 100, condom-less sexual contacts over the course of a year with AIDS-infected partners, only one-third contracted the disease. In a longer study the same percentage held up among women who had sex more than 600 times with infected partners. Since 1 percent of random males carry the AIDS bug, a woman thus would have to have 60,000 encounters with different American men to have even a one-third risk of catching the disease...
...provisional government headed by Lieut. General Henri Namphy. The 22 months of military rule, though, have been a period of unrest, as the country stood on the brink of anarchy. In some areas law and order have virtually broken down, and an estimated 500 people have been killed in random and often gruesome violence.

...feelings and my truth." She has written some fine songs in the past, including (uncredited until 1984) the Stones' Sister Morphine, a jagged bit of Faithfull autobiography, and three cuts on her formidable 1979 album Broken English.

Finally, no sampling of cookbooks would be complete without one of the genre's inevitable celebrity offerings. A typically vacuous entry this season is The Jill St. John Cookbook (Random House; 259 pages; $19.95), a bit of fluff that begins with the actress's expression of gratitude to Eastman Kodak for providing film and processing. "Thanks, Kodak!" she says, and well she might, for the collection of glistening photographs, mostly of the monthly food columnist herself, are this volume's main, albeit limited, attraction...
