A veteran of Chicago's competitive local journalism, Reynolds joined ABC in 1965 and covered the White House and other major beats before co-anchoring the evening news from 1968 to 1970, returning to that chair again in 1978. Widely respected by colleagues for his honesty, fairness and rectitude, he often brought an emotional edge to his work: showing pain at the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and sudden rage when he received conflicting reports...

New knowledge about the immune system has inspired doctors to be more careful when treating Kaposi's to use therapies that do not lead to further suppression of the immune system. Fauci of NIH has conducted a bone marrow transplant that bolsters a patient's immune system. Along with many other researchers, he is testing the effects on AIDS patients of new forms of interferon, a component of the human immune system that can now be reproduced by genetic engineering...
