...exotic figure, took a lot of drugs, had a lot of sex with people I never saw again. Did lots of things that would kill you now, but it was that sort of time. Everyone was nice and open and I came at a time when it was easier to be a black woman in America than ever before.

For example, getting Harvard to support HASA has been a challenge. After considerable pressure, the university agreed to authorize a fund to provide scholarships for graduate students from Africa, because those dollars would flow directly to Harvard’s coffers.

The last major pandemic occurred in 1918 when an Influenza A strain jumped from birds to humans and killed...
...rules under consideration would make it easier for government prosecutors to gather evidence that could be used to build cases against the suspected terrorists. One proposal calls for getting rid of the "psychotherapist-patient privilege" for Guantánamo prisoners because, as the document explains, it "greatly restricts the government's access to mental health records." The same argument is made for the "physician-patient privilege" so that detainee medical records might be used at trial. The U.S. Supreme Court has long upheld both privileges for Americans under most circumstances...
