Landis' contempt for rules, however, has had less entertaining results. The deaths of actor Vic Morrow and two child extras on the set of Landis' Twilight Zone--The Movie segment four years ago suggested that, indeed, there are some rules to which even cinematic iconoclasts ought to adhere. Landis has admitted that the two young extras were working in violation of California's child-labor laws, and now he and several of his colleagues are on trial for involuntary manslaughter and criminal negligence in the three deaths...

The victim cell is often killed in the process. But the AIDS virus is a so-called retrovirus and contains single-stranded RNA. Alone, RNA lacks the ability to conquer cells, but retroviruses carry an enzyme called reverse transcriptase. When the AIDS virus invades an immune-system T cell, the enzyme enables the viral...
