Abstract:

Burroughs Wellcome Company discovered that the drug AZT can prolong the lives of many people with AIDS, but at an annual cost of about ten-thousand dollars per patient. North Carolina has a share of the federal safety-net program to help AIDS patients who can’t afford AZT. Others who are without federal aid are organizing boycotts against Burroughs and considering lawsuits.

Abstract:

Julian Pierce’s murder has intensified the fear, suspicion and confusion already reigning in a racially troubled Robeson County. Pierce wanted better representation for minorities, and was running strong to become the first Native American to sit on North Carolina’s Superior Court bench. Some believe Pierce’s murder was a political assassination, but law enforcement say he was killed by his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend.
