Research. Except for cancer, AIDS now receives more Government research money than any other illness in America. AIDS gets $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion. Heart disease, for example, receives about half as much, $700 billion. The AIDS research allocation is not just huge, it is hugely disproportionate. AIDS has killed 83,000 Americans in nine years. Heart disease kills that many every six weeks...
...rather not. We are dealing with influential individuals in the right wing. I don't want to go beyond that, except to say that our intention is to mobilize the entire right wing to support Mr. De Klerk, to support the peace initiative...
After last Monday's game, Ryan received a congratulatory call from the team owner's dad. No big deal -- except that the owner's dad is George Bush. "It's a great symbol," Bush, 66, later said, "for kids around this country that love baseball as much as I do." Forget the kids, Mr. President.

What...
...after the First World War was the international isolation of the Weimar Republic. I am strictly against repeating that mistake. Germany, and that includes a unified Germany, is part of the Western community of shared values. We cannot accept anything less. It is remarkable that all Warsaw Pact countries except the Soviet Union are for full German membership in NATO. Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia are in favor of it -- unconditionally and completely. Why? Simply because they do not want Germany to be isolated. The U.S., all our other allies and the Germans themselves should raise this issue in their talks...
