Even in death the AIDS victim is shunned. In St. Louis and New York, undertakers have refused to embalm the remains of patients. In Los Angeles, a funeral parlor was asked to handle the body of three-year-old Sammy Kushnick, who had died from AIDS contracted through a blood transfusion. Until a rabbi intervened, they refused to dress the boy in the clothes and prayer shawl his parents had selected for his burial...

Police in Truro, Mass., intend to collect the DNA of every one of the town's 790 males. After that, the cops may cast a wider net, reaching neighboring towns. They started by approaching men at Truro's few outposts--the post office, the pizza place, the grocery store--and politely asking each if they could swipe a lollipop-size swab inside his cheek. It's strictly voluntary, and the Truro men can say no. Then...
