...ultimate gay plague would be contracted over the phone. Soon, however, compassion and terror galvanized the gay community. Anxious mobs attended Larry Kramer's landmark AIDS drama, The Normal Heart, in which medical statistics were painted on the walls of the set and constantly updated. Theater suddenly performed an unheard-of function: at its opening in 1985, The Normal Heart was one of the few sources of data on the epidemic anywhere...
Outside of scientific circles, basic research is oftentimes unheard of and considered "curiosity-driven activities,"as Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) put it. That phrase evokes images of mad scientists pouring together chemicals and creating technological break-throughs such as flubber (flying rubber), as in the 1961 movie "The Absent-Minded Professor."

The truth, say scientists, is that Caucasoid features, while rare, are not unheard of in the remains of prehistoric Americans. They can also be seen in ancient bones from northern Asia. There's no reason, say experts, to conclude this was some sort of Neolithic Christopher Columbus. As one of the oldest and most complete skeletons ever found in the Pacific Northwest, however, it could tell anthropologists an enormous amount about the lives and ethnic background...
