Judge orders
abstinence
in ADS case
THE ASSOCIATED PRESSPORTLAND, Ore. - A 27-
year-old man has been sentenced
to sexual abstinence for five
years and house arrest for six
months for knowingly spreading
the AIDS virus by having sex
with a girlfriend.
Alberto Gon-
zalez, who was
accused of in-
fecting 22-year-
old Bridgett
Pederson,
pleaded no
contest before
Judge Janice
Wilson to third-
degree assault,
a felony, and
Gonzalez two misde-
meanor counts of recklessly en-
dangering others.
Prosecutors dismissed nine oth-
er charges, including a count of
first-degree assault that alleged
Gonzalez used a dangerous weap-
on - the AIDS virus - to inten-
tionally inflict serious injury.
David Peters, a deputy district
attorney who prosecutedGonza-
lez, said Tuesday he would have
been able to prove Gonzalez knew
he had the virus when he began
his relationship with Pederson.
Shawn Hop, a previous girl-
friend who would have been a
key witness for the prosecution,
has said she and Gonzalez both
discovered that they were AIDS
infected in 1988.
"He intentionally kept girl-
friend one and girlfriend two
from ever meeting," Peters said.
"He consciously kept the second
one from getting the information
she would have needed to pro-
tect herself."
Pederson has said she met
Gonzalez in 1989, and that they
found out they both were HIV
positive when they visited a plas-
ma center last year.
Both women said they fear
Gonzalez has infected others.
They said he frequented night-
clubs and often made advances
toward other women.30, 1991

Nurses on strike
Hours after striking nurses walked the picket
line Tuesday at Los Angeles County-USC hos-
pital, a judge ordered them back to work. Su-perior Court Judge William Huss said the labor
dispute had created "an imminent threat to the
health and safety of the public."Jobless bill compromise sought
Democrats, Republicans try to find middle ground on benefitsLOS ANGELES TIMES
WASHINGTON - In an ap-
parent reversal that could break
a three-month impasse between
the White House and Congress,
President Bush gave a green
light Tuesday for negotiations on
potential compromise legislation
to extend jobless benefits for 3
million unemployed Americans.
Bipartisan discussions began
immediately among Senate and
House leaders to draft new legis-
lation acceptable to both Bush
and Democratic sponsors of a
$5.3 billion measure to provide
up to 13 weeks of extra benefits
for the long-term unemployed.
Bush's decision followed last
week's White House compromise
with Senate leaders on civil
rights legislation, a dramatic de-
velopment that overcame twoyears of deadlock over a bill to
combat job discrimination.
The president's willingness to
put aside concerns about the cost
of providing extended benefits
appeared to reflect growing con-
cerns that the recession could
continue for some time and be-
come a potent political issue in
next year's elections.
House Minority Leader Robert
Michel, R-Ill., said the jobless
benefits legislation was discussed
by Republican leaders at a lunch
meeting in the White House on
Monday. Later, Michel said,
Bush telephoned him to pursue
the matter further.
"The gist of that conversation
was to get our heads together
[with Democratic lawmakers] and
craft a compromise acceptable to
him," Michel said.
Democrats welcomed the com-promise efforts, although some of
their remarks had a partisan
edge, reflecting previous plans to
use the issue to advantage in
next year's elections.
"The president has just reversed
himself on civil rights, and if he's
now prepared to reverse himself
on unemployment [benefits], we'd
be very happy at that," said Sen-
ate Majority Leader George Mitch-
ell. "I think the president has been
adamant and wrong, and that has
resulted in millions of Americans
not receiving their [unemploy-
ment] insurance."
House Speaker Thomas Foley,
D-Wash., was somewhat more
conciliatory, saying he thinks
that Bush now recognizes that
America's long-term unemployed
"desperately need some benefits"
because jobs are scarce in a weak
economy.Experiments indicate drug
fights AIDS-related cancerTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - An experimen-
tal drug has blocked formation of
the purple tumors of Kaposi's
sarcoma in animals, providing
the best results yet against this
potentially deadly AIDS-related
cancer, researchers say.
The drug may be useful in
treating other forms of cancer,
including breast cancer, in addi-
tion to acquired immune defi-
ciency syndrome, the researchers
said.
Representatives of AIDS and
women's health groups said
Tuesday the Japanese company
that discovered the drug is mov-
ing too slowly to develop it.
Ten activists chained them-
selves together Tuesday in the
Fort Lee, N.J., offices of the com-pany, Daiichi Pharmaceutical Co.
of Tokyo, to urge speedy devel-
opment of the drug. They later
left voluntarily.
The group's spokesman, Peter
Staley of the Treatment Action
Guerrillas of New York, said
when word of the drug first sur-
faced last year, "it was a bomb-
shell in the AIDS community."
"We've been dying to know
where this drug is ever since," he
said.
Thomas Boersig, a consultant
to Daiichi, denied the company is
delaying the drug's development.
"This is a very high priority pro-
ject of ours," he said.
The research showing the po-
tential effectiveness of the drug
against Kaposi's sarcoma is being
done by Dr. Robert Gallo of the
National Cancer Institute.WANTED FOR PURCHASE
