AIDS has claimed
thousands of lives
of men, women
and even children

Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome (AIDS) is a disease
caused by infection with the
human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV). Since its discovery in the
United States in 1981, AIDS has
claimed thousands of lives of
men, women, and even children.
While the epidemic is worldwide,
most of the well-documented
cases are in the United States. In
this country, the urban areas are
most affected. These cities in-
clude: New York City, San Fran-
cisco, Los Angelos, Houston,
Newark, Washington, D.C.,
Miami, Chicago, Dallas,
Philadelphia, Atlanta, Boston,
and others. The Black communi-
ty has felt the most severe impact
of the AIDS epidemic. Of the total
persons with AIDS in the United
States, 25% are Black, even
though Black people represent
only 12% of the total United
States population. Of American
women diagnosed with AIDS,
60% are Black. Sixty percent
(60%) of the babies born with
AIDS are Black, and 53% of the
children under 13 years of age
with documented AIDS are
Black. Nearly three-fourths of the
children with AIDS are reported
from New York, New Jersey,
California, and Florida. No
longer can AIDS be erroneously
considered a ~gay-white-adult-
male disease T, but a threat to the
health of all Americans, especial-
ly Black women and their
children.

BY: STAFF WRITER
At a time when drugs are run-
ning rampant in our community,
diseases such as AIDS are
reaching epidemic proportions
and the role of the Black Church

| is under fire. The Metropolitan

African Methodist Episcopal Zion
Church on West Fourth Street in
Washington is not slowing down

' and is taking on the nation Ts

social ills head-on.

Under the leadership of the
Reverend David L. Moore,
Metropolitan AME Zion Church
has gone out into the African
American communities of
Beaufort County to tackle issues
they believe to be detrimental to
social, economic and political
progress of Blacks in the rural
eastern North Carolina counties.

oBeaufort County has never
had a Black County Commis-
sioner, a Black School Board
Member, .. ., � T among others,

' Moore said. ~ ~Therefore, T T he add-

ed, ~We (community leaders)
have sued the county to revamp
its election methods to allow
Blacks to be elected and we are
expecting a ruling from the U.S.
Justice Department very soon. � T
He says of the law firm they hired
ou of Charlottet, ~ ~They have the
best record T T in winning law suits
of this nature. In addition to
Beaufort County Ts alledged
political inadequacies, there are
a number of economic and social
ways that have netted the con-
cerns of the Metropolitan Church
family.

Comprehensive
land use plan to
be discussed soon

The Pitt County Planning
Board Ts Comprehensive Plan
subcommittee has scheduled a
series of public meetings for the
last week in April to present in-
formation and solicit comments
on draft goals and objectives for
the ocunty Ts first Comprehensive
Land Use Plan. The five member
subcommittee has been working
with the planning staff since

(Continued on page 5)

So we took off and ran all the
way to the west end of town
where we lived. I told my friend
that I was going home and would
see him the next day. I went
home and went straight to bed,
and by it being so early, my
mother came to my room and
asked me if I was sick, and I told
her I was just tired.

I iaid there and didn Tt get to
sleep until early the next morn-
ing. I was glad to see day break
so I could get up and go some
place where I wouldn Tt have to be
bothered by that woman. I just
couldn Tt seem to get the sight of
her out of my mind. I got up the
next morning, took a hot bath and
dressed and didn Tt even tell my
mother that I was gone. It was
Saturday and I knew that I had
two more days that I wouldn Tt
have to go the drug store. I went
to the corner where we usually
hang out and some of my friends
were already there. We stood
around and talked a while and
one of the boys suggested that we
go to the baseball game that
evening. So we all agreed to meet
there that afternood and go
together. The hours passed and
we gathered on the corner and
decided which way we would go.
We knew that if we went Long
Street the colored boys would run
us and if we went through Nor-
ristown the white boys would run
us. The baseball park was located
in southwest Greenville and we
lived on the northwest part of
town. So we decided to go through
Norristown and take chances on
the white boys being gone to
swimming. But not so.

Teenage pregnancy is one of
those concerns. ~ ~They have
already benefitted from the
~Teen Parenting Program, �
Moore said. According to an
outline of the Program, ~ ~It is
designed to provide an opportuni-
ty for teen parents and their sup-
port systems to come together
and begin the process of making
the necessary decisions in a
responsible and realistic manner
... � T The program further allows
teens to receive help from other
teens faced with similar pro-
blems as well as participate ina
structural and informal group
discussion led by a trained social
worker and as well as others
within a speakers bureau.

It would appear _ that
Metroploitan has left no stones
unturned when you visit the
Church Ts campus. The entire
church family, as it seems,
reaches out to try and help every
segment of the mostly rural coun-
ty, and stemming from their
commitments are interests from
other members T of the
community.

Ms. Lynn Bolden, now working
on her Master Ts Degree at Yale
University, saw a oid within the
county Ts public school system
and set out to establish a tutorial
program. The result of her con-
cerns is now over a year old and
is known as the Metropolitan
Tutorial Program. Attendance
has grown is excess of thirty now
eager students, despite a severe
lack of funding. The Program is
scheduled each Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday after school and
the students T grades have im-
porved immensley from C Ts and
D Ts to A Ts and B Ts.

In addition to these commit-
ment, Metropolitan has made in
the community. They also have a
shelter for the homeless that Ts
equipped with cots, blankets and
pillows as well as a soup kitchen
in a clean comfortable environ-
ment. The Smith Reynolds Foun-
dation has helped with funding,
but more is needed according to
Program officials.

All these programs and other
services are contiuing even as the

oWe've Come A Long Way �

BY: DEACON JAMES VINES

THURSDAY, APRIL 20-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1989

Just as soon as we had passed
almost out of the area that we
considered dangerous, we heard
them coming shouting as loud as
they could, ~Let Ts get them nig-
gers. T T So we took off running as
fast as we could until we were in
our territory and when they say
that we were they, they turned
back. After the game we decided
to go back another way. Instead
of going back the way we came,
we decided to go through Long
Street. The closer we got to Long
Street we could see some of the
boys standing out on the corner
waiting for us. They were break-
ing up bricks and piling them
beside the street until we got
there. When we go within a few
feet of them we heard one of them
say, ~There goes those guys from
the west end. Let Ts make them
hook up, T T one of them said. As
they begin to throw at us we took
off running. But there was a bit
of luck on our side because one of
the boys running us was my
cousin so they did what he asked
them to do and they let us go. My
cousin told me not to come over
that way again because he may
not be able to help me the next
time. So we went on our way. We
crossed Dickerson Ave. and on to
Chestnut Street where we say a
.arge crow of White fold gathered
together on the sidewalk in front
of a small white house sitting
back from the street with some
large oak tres in the front yard.

We decided to investigate to see
what was going on. When we got
almost to the crowd we heard a
white woman talking to one of the
men telling him that she saw a

nigger peeping in her window and
he asked her which way did he go
and she said he ran that way
pointing toward the direction we
were going. Then one of them
asked her if she would know him
if she saw him again and she said
yes. By this time a tall man came
by on the side of the street and
she pointed toward him and said
there he was over there. So they
took after him and he decided to
run not knowing what was
happening.

About five or ten jof them were
behind him shouting, ~Let Ts kill
that nigger. T T He probably could
have outran them if he had the
two bags of groceries down but he
knew he was innocent and decid-
ed to keep going as fast as he
could. He had gotten almost to
the northwest side of towm when
one of the men flagged a car
down that turned out to be a
highway patrolman. The
patrolman got out of the car and
asked what was wrong and one of
the white men told him they were
chasing a nigger that had just
peeped in a white woman Ts win-
dow. The patrolman then asked
the man which way did he go and
he said he went straight up the
street where they were standing.

So he jumped in his car and
took off down the street. After go-
ing about three blocks the man
that was riding with the
patrolman spotted the man run-
ning trying to get home and put
his groceries down, but he was no
match for the patrol car. He did
make it close enough to his home

divorce from your mate either by
choice or because Mr. Right has
never come along is the perfect
time to see God alone again.

Are you going or growing
through your problem? Read
Proverbs 20:24, ~Man Ts goings
are of the Lord; how then can a
man then understand his own
way. � Accept your singleness,
keep hope alive.

There are three kinds of love:
1. I love you because...2. I love
you if...3. I love you in spite of...

Accept each other.
Communicate "mean what you
say and say what you mean. Look
each other in the eyes while talk-
ing and form a triangle "God,
you, me. Build each other up and
make each important. Take
priority time with each other.

It is predicted by the year 1990,
63 divorces for every 100 mar-
riages will occur.

SOME FACTS...

1, All children need limits, con-
trol and discipline as well as un-
conditional love and
understanding.

2. Every individual has dignity
and worth.

3. It Ts so observable seeing
white men love and respect their
wives, especially by saying, ~My
wife Nancy joins me in wishing
you happiness T T (or similar
recognitions in public), but it Ts
seldom, if ever, that the Black
man does that. He does it for
everyone else except his wife.
Many husbands are selfish
enough to say, ~She doesn Tt do it. � T
Husbands should set the leader-
ship in the home in supporting the
family, in courtesy and manners,
in compliments, and in express-
ing love and caring. God in-
stituted it so.

Children are cold, inattentive,
show and express no love or af-
fection, because of what theys ee

I can Tt say that enough. Greeting
in the mornings, accompanied by
hugs and kisses; likewise at night
before retiring, make for warm
and loving children. Try it

would not be such a problem.

4. What happens to a child
before he is ten years old is a lot
more important than afterwards.
Basic personality traits change
little beyond that age. A good
solid foundation in those early
years really spells the difference
between future school success
and the lack of it.

5. Two things are bad for the
heart "running up stairs and run-
ning down people.

6. It Ts smart to pick your

7. A friend takes an interest in *

8. If we all said to people Ts

impossible.

9. Be grateful for your doors of
opportunity "and for friends who

10. There is nothing more ter.
rifying than ignorance in action,

11. One way of making the
world better is by improving
yourself.

12. Never judge a man Ts ac-
tions until you know his motives.

13. Justice is what we get when
the decision is in our favor.

14. One way to curb juvenile
delinquency is to take the parents
off the streets at night.

Comprehensive Land
Use Plan

(Continued from page I)

September and wants to share its
planning information with the
citizens of the county,

According to Jeff Ulma, Coun-
ty Planning Director, ~The CPS
has studied growth and develop-
ment factors, has identified ma-
jor land use issues, and has
drafted goals and objectives
which will form the framework
for the rest of the plan. It Ts time
to let the general public review
this information and_ provide
comments on the direction being
proposed,

The recommended goals and
objectives prepared by the Sub-
committee have been organized
into five topic areas. They include
~Growth and Development, T T
~Land Use, � ~Transportation, � T
~Community Services and
Facilities, T and ~Natural En-
vironment. � For each of these
categories, a general goal and
more specific objectives have
been developed. Some of the ob-
jectives address such items as
management of growth and
development, preservation of
prime agricultural land, effective
land use regulations, aesthetics,
protection of natural resources,
and provision of adequate public
facilities and services, The public
meetings are intended to allow
citizens to express their opinions
about the land use issues to be ad-
dressed in the 20-year plan.

~Active citizen participation is
needed during this planning pro-
cess, T said Ulma, ~and is critical
at this stage. If the general public
does not get involved now, then
the plan will not reflect county-
wide opinion, but only the opinion
of the Planning Board and ~its
staff. In addition, he continued,
~short-term work on a future zon-
ing ordinance, new development
requirements, other planning
tools, and more detailed land use
plans will be developed as a
direct result of this long-range
plan. � T

Ed Hemingway, Chairman of
the Comprehensive Plan Sub-
committee, agrees. ~We have
gone as far as possible on.our
own. We have reviewed a great
amount of background informa-

(Continued from page 1)

to go between his house and
another house. By this time they
had caught up ¥ ith him coming

out toward t where the | |
patrolman told him to halt and |

turn around and face him. So he.

toward the offer whet he told

him to put the groceries on the -

ground and raise his hands above
his head.

He sat the groceries down and
as he raised his hands above his
head what sounded like a
firecracker or a car backfiring
broke the silence of the evening.
It turned out to be two shots from
a revolver that hit the suspect
square in the face and in the head
that killed him almost instantly.
A local undertaker picked him up
and carried him to P.G.H. where
he was pronounced dead. It was
later learned that the man that
was killed was in a local grocery
store at the time that the incident
occured, but it was too late. The
woman who accused him made a
death bed confession that she
never saw anyone at her window,
that she was just trying to keep
her husband home. But that
didn Tt help.

After that Saturday afternoon,
things were really scary because
I was in a situation where the
same thing could have happened
to me. So time passed and it was
Monday and time for me to go
back to work at the drug store. I
got to work about 8:00 in the mor-
ning and after we had gone in the
office and given our boss our
sympathy, I was called in before
we got to work. The dispatcher
gave me the order which was on
my route and told me it was
already paid for and I didn Tt have
to collect it. I arrived at the place
of delivery and went on the porch
and knocked on the door and a
beautiful colored girl came to the
door and invited me to come in.
I told her that her husband had
paid for it and there was nothing
for her to pay but she insisted I
come in anyway so she could ask
~me if she had to turn in a tube to
get toothpaste and I told her yes.
Then she asked me if I could get
her some tubes and she would
pay me. I told her that I would
try. SoI left and went back to the
store thinking of how I could help
this beautiful young lady. I
thought about the one that I had
at-home so I went home on my
lunch break and got the one that
I had and took it back to her on
my way to the store. I gave her
the tube and she thanked me and

I started out the door and she...
called me back and told me that.
she. wanted to talk because she-

gets lonesome homeall. day
waiting for her husband to come
home. So I sat down and I notic-
ed that she had pulled off her
housecoat and had nothing on but
her bra and slip. We sat there for
a moment and then she said she
needed some company every now
and then.

I was beginning to get a funny
feeling that I was headed for trou-
ble because the minute I saw her
I knew that I was going to like her
more than I should because she
was a married woman. So she
thanked me for the toothpaste
tube and told me to come back
the next day on my lunch break.

MAYOR ED CARTE.
Greenville Mayor Edward
Carter has been named Citizen of
the Year for the Mid-Atlantic
Region of the Alpha Kappa
sorority.

This honor was bestowed at the
AKA Ts 36th Annual Regional Con-
ference held March 30-April 2 in
Arlington, Va. Carter was
selected from a field of can-
didates representing the sorori-
ty Ts 95 chapters in North Carolina
and Virginia.

The award has been presented
annually since 1969 to someone in
the region who has distinguished
himself as a humanitarian, bas-
ed on accomplishments in the
fields of education, community
service, family life and political
action.

The sorority Ts Iota Kappa
Omega chapter in Greenville
nominated Carter, who received
the award and addressed the
regional membership at the con-
ference banquet on Saturday,
April 1. Nearly 1,200 AKA
representatives attended the con-
ference. The sorority was found-
ed in 1908 on the campus of
Howard University in
Washington, D.C. More than
75,000 in the United States and
throughout the world belong to
the organization, whose motto is
to be of ~service to mankind. �

Greenville sorors attending the
conference included Jean Carter,
Ann Dixon, Rhonda Dennard,
Helen Harrell, Ella Harris, Jac-
qui Hawkins, Gloria Hines, and

oWork Program holds
offenders accountable �

Juvenile offenders in Pitt Coun-
ty have been held personally ac-
countable for their unlawful acts
through Juvenile Services

Restitution-Community Service:s«:
Program. RA

These offenders work at
various public service agencies in
order to make restitution to their
victims and/or to perform com-
munity service.

According to Mrs. Sadie W. Ap-
plewhite, who is a Program Coor-
dinator, ~ ~Not only does the pro-
gram utilize public worksite, but
continues to seek other agencies,
organizations, businesses and
citizens to be designated as
worksites, � T

Worksites must be approved by
the program. This is not a dif-
ficult process, however, the pro-
gram focus on the type of work
and quality of supervision
provided.

Worksites are needed
throughout the county " Green-
ville in particular, as well as
Bethel, Farmville and Ayden to
name a few areas.

Actual scheduling of a juvenile
is flexible and is usually done at
the convenience of the par-
ticipating worksite.

Occassionally, adult volunteers
can be used in offering additional
supervision and interaction with
the juveniles.

Juveniles who owe restitution
earn $2.60 per hour. Others who
perform ~community service, give
a portion of their time and energy
to the community without being
monetarily compensated.

The primary goal of this pro-
gram is to hold the juvenile per-
sonally accountable for his/her
phic and to provide the of-

ender with an opportunity to
begin learning basic skills and
traits in employment. Another
goal is to offer at least partial
monetary compensation to vic-
tims of delinquency and to

number of Black female in-
travenous drug abusers who are
sexually active, further place not
only men, but unborn children at
risk for AIDS.

When a child is born and
develops AIDS, it is an ex-
cruciating time. Parents should
be tested, and the source of the
virus should be identified. In-
tervention and treatment should
begin immediately for those in-
volved. HIV infection can have a
variety of effects on infants and
children. The family must select
a good doctor and program.

_ part in the Summit and in par-

' ticular to have the opportunity to

Along with other concerned
African Americans, I have been
invited to take part in the African
American Summit that is being
held in New Orleans on the
weekend of April 2]. In his letter
of invitation the general chair-
man of the African American
Summit T89, former Gary, In-
diana mayor Richard Hatcher "
the first African American to be
elected mayor of a major
American city "explained that
~an African American Agenda for
the next four years and on out to
the year 2000, which transcends
party and partisan considera-
tions, will be developed at this
meeting. T The Summit, he con-
tinued, ~will be open to all African
Americans of every political per-
suasion, religious organization;
all economic levels, ages,
philosophies and walks of life. T T

4 address the issue of ~Options for
_ the African American Communi-
| ty, � the panel on which I will be

speaker. My participation
guarantees that the 220,000
Americans "mainly African
Americans "who voted for me as

- an independent Presidential can-

didate last year, and the hun-
dreds of thousands more who

- support a Black-led, multi-racial

independent party in America,
will be represented in this next
national dialogue on the Black
Agenda, a dialogue that has been

| taking place in our community

for nearly a generation now.

In 1972 the National Black
Political Convention met in Gary,
Indiana. In his explosive keynote
address, Mayor Hatcher, the con-
vention co-chair, handed down a
passionate indictment of both the
major parties.

~No political party which ©

represents the interests of
America Ts giant corporations,
rather than the urgent needs of
the people, may enlist Black
political power in its sup-
port...Hereafter, every political
party must make up its mind. It
cannot represent both the cor-
porations and the people. It can-
not represent both the corpora-
tions and the people. As the par-
ty chooses, so shall we then
choose the party.

~We say to the two American
political parties: This is their last
clear chance; they have had too
many already. These are not idle
threats...The choice is
theirs... Those of us still commit-

then cross the Rubicon and form
a third political movement. �

But despite those words, the
convention ultimately rejected
the option of building an indepen-
dent party; instead the delegates
opted for the strategy of increas-
ing the number of Black elected
officials, focusing their efforts on
the Democratic Party.

Jesse Jackson Ts run for the
Presidency in 1984, and again in
1988, renewed a passionate
debate on whether and how our
struggle for empowerment could
be successful solely within the
framework of the Democratic
Party. The insistence on the part
of the white pro-corporate hierar-
chy of the Democratic Party that
Jesse repudiate Minister Louis
Farrakhan during the 1984 cam-
paign heightened the feeling in
our Communities that being in the
Democratic Party meant allow-
ing white America to dictate to us
who our leaders could be. And
1988, when Jackson was denied a
place on the Democratic ticket
even though he finished the
primary season in a strong se-
cond place, further underscored
the extent to which the
Democratic Party was intent
upon denying us a share of
political power commensurate
with our numbers and our
loyalty.

The week of the Democratic
National Convention, at which
Jackson was unceremoniously
dumped by Michael Dukakis in
favor of the pro-Contra Texas
land grabber, Lloyd Bentsen, was
a flashpoint of national debate
within the African American

President Cheek issues open letter

Editori4l Note: Reproduced is
a text of a letter from Presient
James E. Cheek of Howard
University giving the Univer
sity view of the problem sur
rounding the recent sitin at
Howard that focused on the
election of Lee Atwater, cam-
paign worker for George Bush.
As well as other University-Stu-
dent problems. This letter ap-. |
peared origihally in the
CAPSTONE, a publication of
Howard University and is
reprinted with permission.

Dear Howardites:

I am writing to keep you
abreast of recent developments
that have a bearing on the fu-
ture and direction of Howard
University.

As you may know from recent
news media reports, Howard
students mounted protests over
the following issues as they per-
ceived them?

¢ The election of Lee Atwater,
Chairman of the Republican Na-
tional Party, to the Howard
University Board of Trustees;

e The slow processing of ap-
~plications for financial assis-
tance;

¢ Inadequate physical securi-
ty on the campus and its en-
virons:

¢ The academic curriculum in-
sofar as it appears to them to be
too ~Eurocentered � T;

¢ The lack of an African
American ~Graduate -- Studies.

Program; and

* Needed improvement of
physical conditions in ~the
dormitories.

The sequence of events that
comprised the protests of recent
days started on the morning of
Friday, March 3, when the)
Charter Day convocation was T
scheduled to be held with Bill
Cosby delivering the main ad-
dress. Student leaders and their
followers occupied the stage
and all but a few seats of Cram-
ton Auditorium prior to the
scheduled ceremony and pro-
ceeded to hold a rally esposing
their damands. |

dents marched to the Ad-
ministration Building and oc-
cupied the premises, barring ex-
ternal and internal doors. Sub-
sequently, the University
sought and obtained a tem-
porary restraining order, direct-
ing the students to vacate the
building and to refrain from dis-
rupting the normal operations
~ of the University.

When _students® refused to
obey the mandate, local police
were called in to enforce the

March 7. However, it soon be-
came obvious that if the police
used force sufficient to remove
the students, the lives and saf-
ety of the students would be
endangered.

In consultation with Dr.
Jacob, I decided that the stu-
dents could stay in the building
as long as they wished. It was
apparent however, that there
would be several adverse conse-
quences resulting from a pro-
longed occupation of the Ad-
ministration Building, some of
which could include a delay in
the University Tprocessing of its
payroll and possible delays in
graduation clearances, as well
as in processing financial aid ap-
plications.

On Tuesday evening March 7,
Mr. Atwater tendered his
resignation to Dr. Jacob, which
was accepted. x

An agreement was signed

with the students on March 9.
which included a restatement of
several of the _ issues
enumerated on the previous
Saturday.

mester (1989) class withdrawal

committee. That name is voted
upon by the full body by closed
ballot.

Contrary to several reports in
the news media, I did not
nominate Lee Atwater for elect-
ion to the Board. His name was
submitted by the committee to
the Board, and the majority of

_.its members voted for his ap-

proval. The election of Mr. At-
water came about as aresult of
our zeal to expand the base of
public and private contributions
to our University. It was the
Board Ts view, which I sup
ported, the Mr. Atwater would
provide a valuable entree to the
world of business finance. I am
of the opinion that history will
vindicate our judgement by his
future actions~- despite his
resignation from the Board.

A university is a place where
divergent ideas and concerns
can co-exist. The hallmark of
Howard University has been its
ability, not only to survive but
also to thrive while embracing a
community of scholars, intellec-

sity of ideals, politics and goals

may well be unmatched.

community. Minister Farrakhan
held a forum on the Black Agen-
da at the Wheat Street Baptist
Church in Atlanta attended by
4,000 people. He urged Jackson to
be a ~champ � and not a ~chump � T
by standing up to the racism of
the Democrats.

Minister Farrakhan invited me
to address the crowd; they
cheered when I said that Jesse
was a brilliant leader but had led
us to the wrong place. Minister
Farrakhan gave his support to
my independent candidacy,
sparking a heated debate within
the Muslim community over
whether or not it should be involv-
ed in-electoral politics and
whether or not that involvement
should include independent
candidates.

In answering the argument
that the Democrats were better

~for the Black community than the

Republicans, Minister Far-
rakhan said, ~You have no right
to support something that you
have given so much to and get so
little from. You have no right to
continue to support it, simply
because you feel you suffered

might do better under Mr.

If relationships make you mad,
sad or glad, write your Family
Therapist; P.O. Box 308, Hollis;
NY 11423.

Dear Therapist:

I thoroughly enjoy reading
your articles in the Amsterdam
News. I find it interesting as
well as informative.

I have a problem which I
guess is fairly common. I am a
28-year- old woman. | have been
married for 3 years to a 27 year
old man whom I have known for
about 11 years. We first met
when I was 16 and he 13. We liv-
ed together for several years be-
fore we got married.

Our marriage and before that
our relationship has been very
strained. This is due to several
problems starting when he ob-
tained employment as a securi-
ty guard and used an alias.
Since then, every job he had
held he has used this alias.
When I explained how unethical
it is he ignores me. Not only is it
unethical but as his wife I am
not able to benefit from his
health insurance as he cannot
prove that I am his wife with

that alias.

In 1982-84 he began using co-
caine, he had drastic mood sw-
ings and personality changes.
He became increasingly ver-
bally abusive.

Between 1984-88 he became
physically abusive. He is now
both physically and verbally
abusive. I have gone to work
with bruises on my neck and
arms and have had to lie when
people either ask or stare at my
bruises out of embarrassment.

In 1988 I moved out and
stayed with my mother for a
short period of time. I then
started counseling, he reluc-
tantly came. The sessions were
once a week at $40 per session.
We went for about two months
and he did not pay for one of the
sessions. I eventually stopped
as this was a burden financialy
and I did not think it was work-
ing as he would be verbally
abusive as soon as we leave the

ists office

The next season will be my 20th

year on national television. But
not in all of that time have I
presented anything of the gravi-
ty of a 4-part series on AIDS that
will be broadcast on public TV
during the month of May.

Unfortunately, this is not hype.
If it were, you would be the same
after you see these programs.
You won Tt be.

We start out with ~The First
AIDS Whistle-Blower T � T and the
allegation that the AIDS virus is
man-made. That charge is made
by Dr. Robert Strecker, the first
prominent medical expert to
challenge the AIDS research
Establishment.

Next " ~What Causes AIDS? � T
Dr. Peter Duesberg, the world Ts
top virologist says, contrary to
what we Tre being told, that the
AIDS virus does not cause AIDS.
The third and fourth weeks will
tackle the questions: ~Has the
Medical Establishment Failed
Us? � and ~Is AIDS a Biological
Experiment? "a summary of
conspiracy theories, including a
discussion on ethnic weapons
aimed at Black people.

One of the unique things about
this series is that the discussions
will not be limited to the official
government point of view.
Legitimate questions are raised,
such as: Is AIDS a contagious
form of cancer? Is it a biological
warfare experiment gone bad?
Have the laboratory scientists
tried to play God and discovered
the devil? If AIDS began in
Africa, why did it spread first to
America, rather than Europe
where we have far closer links?
And why are AIDS victims dying
of sheep diseases and bird
diseases and cattle diseases
which we Td never heard of
before.

The questions alone are enough
to make a half-way cynic raise an
eyebrow, but increasingly they
are being asked by members of
the research-scientific-medical
establishment itself "men (like
Dr. Peter Duesberg, the world Ts
leading retrovirologist, co-
discover of oncogenes, professor
of molecular biology at the
University of California at
Berkeley and a member of the
prestigious National Academy of
Sciences and Dr. Robert Strecker
whose _ " videotape (Info:
818/506-0508) has forced the AIDS
issue to a public debate.

This has resulted, believe it or
not, in the first meaningful two-
way dialogue within the medical-
scientific community on the
causes and dangers of this new
and strange disease. And, believe
it or not, this is the first time the
official government AIDS resear-
chers have ever debated Dr.
Duesberg and his theory that the
HIV virus does not cause AIDS.
On the program, Dr. Duesberg
offers to inject himself with the
AIDS virus to prove his theory. If
he Ts right, government research
is going in the wrong direction.

Even the American media has
been in lockstep with the opinions
of designated government
sources "in one case to the detri-
ment of the public Ts right to

Dear Abused Wife:

If your husband can respond
to reason, if he is consistent
enough to care about the ac-
complishments of his family,
then there is one fulfilling line of
action you can take. If on the
other hand your husband is
damaged to the extent that he is
not truthful to himself, if he
does not value an honest reputa-
tion and does not exhibit the re-
sponsible attitude of caring for
you and himself, then you may
come to accept that an objective
response demands another line
of action.

Stari by admitting to him
that you are overwhelmed with
the multiplicity of problems
that you outlined to me.
Describe the cause and effect of
each problem you mentioned.

If this detail dialogue does
not improve the relationship
significantly and soon enough

know. For example, on May 11,
1987, the London Times said in a
front page headline: ~Smallpox
Vaccine Triggered AIDS Virus. �

The story suggested that the

World Health Organization Ts

smallpox eradication vaccine

program was responsible for
unleashing AIDS in Africa.
Almost 100 million Africans were
inoculated "and_ possibly con-
taminated. But all of the
American news organizations ig-
nored the reporting of, perhaps,
the most important story of our
time in one of the world Ts most
credible news sources. You don Tt
have to have a suspicious nature
to ask why?

It is also revealed on the series
that 27 children in Russia were
accidentally given AIDS with a
contaminated needle. However,
when the American media
reported the stroy it was again
guilty of the sin of omission. The
fact that four mothers caught the
AIDS virus from breast feeding
their children was conspicuously
left out of the U.S. press.

Therefore, it has become in-
creasingly more difficult to
dismiss the Prof. Duesbergs, the
Dr. Streckers and the Dr. John
Seales of the Royal Society of
Medicine in London and to hush
up public debate "something
many scientists feel unnecessary
in the first place.

It would be indeed unfortunate
for all of us if we relegated all
scientifuc dissent to the preserve
of loonies and conspiracy theories
hoping to air their paranoid delu-
sions in public. Freedom of
speech is a risk that comes with
a democracy.

Some conspiracy theories "
such as Watergate won Tt go away
because they describe facts.
Moreover, the AIDS conspiracies
are kept alive largely because of
the history of certain government
agencies.

For example, for 40 years,
from 1932 until 1972, the U.S.
Public Health Service, and later
the Centers for Disease Control in
Atlanta, conducted the most
atrociously unethical and racist
experiment in our history. Black
people with syphilis in Tuskegee,
Alabama, were intentionally not
treated to test the destructive
path of advanced syphilis. Even
when penicillin was discovered
as a treatment it was withheld.
During those years, this experi-
ment was reported in 13 major
medical journals, read by over
100,000 doctors and discussed at
conferences. It was an open
secret.

The purpose of our AIDS
special is to dispel some of the
growing fears and suspicions by
creating an open and honest two-
way dialogue "and not to
automatically accept the pro-
nouncements of official sources
as articles of faith.

When science cannot be ques-
tioned, it is not science anymore,
it is religion.
