Unfortunately, Hirsch was not Midas, and he couldn't afford to pay his postdocs more than the standard $18,000 yearly stipend. To support his family, Ho started moonlighting in Mass General's walk-in clinics. It turned out to be the right time to be in that place too. "The clinics are where you see the flus, the colds, the common illnesses," Ho says. In the mid-1980s, however, he started seeing gay men with what appeared to be an unusually severe flu. They always got over their illness without any of the hallmarks of AIDS. Still, he wondered...
...repress Penn, and Penn had come to resent Morris' taking credit for his values ideas. But Morris couldn't contain Penn. Inside the White House, Penn developed a reputation as "the consultant who's not radioactive," as Stephanopoulos put it.

At the time, he estimated the guns' value at about $300,000 and kept them locked inside a walk-in vault in his basement, expecting them one day to pay for the college educations of his son and his second child, whose birth he expected in seven months. One version of what happened next appeared in a recent full-page N.R.A. advertisement: "When shouting and cursing ATF agents rushed...
...owners; the girl was kneeling in prayer when she died. Frank fled with an accomplice in a battered Toyota. She returned later in a patrol car, ostensibly in response to emergency calls on her police radio. What she did not know was that a third sibling, hiding in a walk-in refrigerator, had witnessed the murders. She identified Frank as the killer...
