...generously funded and sustained indefinitely. Each new group of adolescents must be alerted afresh to the dangers of AIDS and the ways to block the disease. This is especially - critical for young gay men. While the large majority of older homosexuals have learned to practice safe sex, the younger generation does not appear to be so scrupulous. One study in San Francisco of 100 gay men, ages 18 to 25, found that within the previous month 46% had engaged at least once in anal intercourse without a condom...

...blacks. After ten years the repository has spawned 111 children, with 30 more on the way, but not a single one of them was sired by a laureate. Why? The advanced age of typical male Nobel prizewinners handicaps their sperm in the conception sweepstakes. The women have favored younger, if less celebrated, donors.
