By John A. Wettergreen
A recent front page headline in the
local newspaper shouted. "Man Gets
AIDS by Kissing Wife.” Two days
later, the same paper corrected this
headline-forty pages back: an
autopsy had revealed that
pneumonia, not Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), had
killed the man.
Scarcely a day goes by without
another news story on the spread of
AIDS According to articles in the
New England Journal of .Medicine
and the Mortality and Morbidity
Weekly of the Center for Disease
Control, the number of those
diagnosed has doubled every six
months since the disease first ap-
peared among New York City’s
homosexuals in 1979 : 8000 new cases
are expected in 1985 from among the
400,000 Americans that have been
exposed So deadly is AIDS that any
story on it is sensational Therefore,
it is natural for the news media to
focus, as they do, on AIDS' spread to
heterosexuals
Unfortunately, in playing upon the
fears of heterosexuals, the news
media have helped to spread misin-
formation about the disease in par-
ticular. the media emphasize the
fact that non-homosexuals are con-
tracting AIDS, but (ail to point out
that virtually every case of non-
homosexual AIDS can be traced
back to those engaged in homosex-
ual practices For example, it is
often reported that Haitians are "at
risk" of AIDS, but not that Haiti is a
favorite vacation spot of American
and European homosexuals and not
that Haitians with AIDS were
homosexual prostitutes as boys
Similarly, hemophiliacs are often

turers have established plants in the
United States
For many consumer products,
particularly electronic, much of the
competition now is not so much U.S
vs. Japan but Japan vs the “new
Japans," the Asian countries of
Korea. Hong Kong. Taiwan and
Singapore
Joe Bhatia, executive staff
engineer for Underwriters
Laboratories Inc., an independent
product tester, said those countries
rely on lower labor costs to produce
less expensive goods
Some Asian countries other than
Japan have gained significant
shares of U.S. markets, such as
Korea has with black-and-white
televisions But Bhatia said he has
found products from those countries The latest news is also big,
often lower in quality than Japanese although not of a similarly sensation-
or U.S. products
"Those are quick and dirty," he
said. "They're aiming for the low
end of the market and are full of pro-
blems. mostly ... We've had a lot of
complaints from retail chains .”
Those countries, he said, are
where Japan was several decades
ago when they were imitating, not
innovating
"The Japanese were known for
their cheap products, lower quality.
reported to be typical victims. Ig-
nored is the fact that their blood
disease increases the likelihood of a
blood infusion from a homosexual
AIDS victom by 100,000 times.
Again: in every case of women with
AIDS about which enough is known,
they have caught it from an AIDS-
ridden homosexual or "bi-sexual."
The news media has been reluc-
tant to report that there are only two
ways to catch AIDS One can catch it
by "blood contact” with someone
who already has AIDS. This is how
heterosexuals who are
homophiliacs, intravenous drug
abusers, or prostitutes catch AIDS.
One can catch it by a degree of sex-
ual perversion unimaginable to the
typical American Typically, this is
how homosexuals contact AIDS.
Contrary to what is usually
reported, it is not mere "sexual con-
tact” that spreads AIDS among
homosexuals The medical
literature, especially a series of ar-
ticles in the distinguished medical
journal Lancet, suggests that AIDS
develops among those who engage in
anal intercourse on a massive scale
(5 to 10 different partners per day,
over a period of months or years)
and to the point of severe abuse to
anus, rectum, and intestines In ad-
dition. bestiality seems to be involv-
ed. most homosexual AIDS victims
have viruses in their systems which
have formerly been found only in
turkerys, gerbils, sheep, and pigs
This kind of perversion only
became possible in an organized
way in the United States with the
passage of the so-called "consenting
adults" laws in the 1970s These laws
made possible the commercializa-
tion of mass, anonymous anal inter-
to do away with tax deductions for
charitable donations
Eliminating such deductions
would result in immediate and
lasting damage to a system of ser-
vice upon which Americans and
their communities have come to de-
pend Reliable predictions are that
gifts to United Way drives and the
37.000 agencies they support would
decline by 20 percent, or more than
$306 million
More than 45 years ago, the ra-
tionale for deducting charitable con-
tributions was defined in a congres-
sional committee report accompa
nying the Revenue Bill of 1938
"The exemption from taxation of
money or property devoted to
charitable and other purposes is bas-
ed upon the theory that the govern-
ment is compensated for revenue
loss by its relief from financial -
burden that would otherwise have to
be met by public funds "
We believe this rationale is just as ~ ~.

bestiality legal. The daily press has
been reluctant to report hese facts,
perhaps because of a foolish sense of
delicacy
The same sense of delicacy can be
observed in public health officials,
who have not been as plain spoken
about the causes of AIDS as they
might have been They, together
with the news reporters, seem to
fear that public knowledge of AIDS
will increase prejudice agains
homosexuals. Furthermore, an
AIDS-establishment is growing,
which has already acquired millions
of federal dollars This establish-
ment includes such groups as the
AIDS Project in Los Angeles, the
Mayor's Gay Liason in Boston, the
Gay Men's Health Crisis Center in
New York, and dozens of others
across the country Typically these
groups, the press, and public health
officers demand that the federal
government give more money for
AIDS research and medical care,
but they are equally adamant that
those practices from which the
disease springs be allowed to con-
tinue Indeed, those practices are
what the media calls "the gay life-
style.”
In order that decent citizens not be
needlessly frightened by this
disease, and in order that citizens be
enlightened enough to encourage
legislators toward reforms of laws
essential to the public health and
happiness, the press has a duty to
report the details of homosexual life

sible even to suggest that natural,

WASHINGTON (AP) - If you're
thinking of buying American to help
right the Japanese trade imbalance,
you may find less of a choice than
you’d guess, especially if you’re
shopping for many household pro-
ducts.
For automobiles and clothing, in-
cluding shoes, American consumers
are in the middle of an international
battleground But for many other
products, foreign vs domestic isn't
as much of an issue, say experts

“All of this back and forth about
buying American — you don't have
that choice except with cars and
clothing.” said R David Pittie.

Reports magazine
“That seems to be the only place
where it makes a difference because
all the rest of the market has been
decided at least in the things
we've looked at,” said Pittie. a
former member of the U.S Con-
sumer Product Safety Commission
The marketplace is segmented, he
said, with Japanese products
dominating some areas. American
products dominating others
In cameras, for instance, there
are a handful of European brands
but most 35mm cameras sold in this
country are Japanese, he said Some
instant or disc type cameras are
American made But. said Pittie

dominate the market in other con-

clothes washers and dryers, freezers

are called major white goods, are
