Some surveys back up that dark ideological view of male sexual behavior. In Koss's study, one male in 13 admitted attempting or committing at least one rape.

Clinics and hospitals are now routinely discharging AIDS patients after emergency treatment to make room for those who can be effectively treated. Doctors often have to make painful decisions. A case of bacterial pneumonia can be cured with $5 or $6 worth...
