That is the underlying truth of presidential politics: it is extremely difficult to win without early money...
...Manhattan's Beth Israel Medical Center. "It's wrong to think that as a group they don't care about their health." In fact, demand for IV drug-abuse treatment in New York increased after the news about AIDS hit the streets. "It is a classic case of a lesser evil," says the Rev. Roger Shinn, professor emeritus of social ethics at Manhattan's Union Theological Seminary. "The end, limiting the spread of AIDS, might justify the means, supplying needles to addicts...
