Gay Gets TV 'riille After Robison Attack
DALLAS (UPI)-Two supporters ofBill
Nelson, a gay rights activist who is running
for City Council, Thursday taped a
:lO-minute response to televised attacks
made by an evangelist and a local <level·
oper.
In a program aired Tuesday by three
Dallas UHF television stations, the
Rev. ,Jame's Robison and Jim Williams
• Jr. said homosexuals were trying to
take control of the City Council and
citt>d thr candidacy of Nelson, president
of the Dallas Gay Alliance.
Robison also said he did not believe
Nelson could truthfully take the oath of
office to uphold city and state laws,
including the sodomy law, Wayburn
said.
Nrlson's campaign petitioned the
Federal Communications Commission,
citing thr Fairness Doctrine.
"Our defense is that we should be
entitJ(•d to equal time to explain how Mr.
Nelson appeals to a broad range of people,"
said Willian Wayburn, Nelson's
campaign manager.
KDFI-TV agreed to provide 30 minutes
of air time. KLTJ-TV, which aired
the Robison program twice. agreed to
provide one hour. The third station,
KDTX, said Robison and Williams' discussions
of homosexuality lasted Jess
than five minutes, and that is how much
time the station agreed to give Nelson's
campaign .
Wayburn said if the station did not
provide 30 minutes' response time, Ne!-
son's campaign would appeal to the
FCC.
Wayburn said Thursday night that
Nelson's response was a 30-minute discussion
between Charlotte Taft, director
of the Routh Street Women's Clinic
and a member of the Dallas Area
Women's Political Caucus. and Ann
Brown, a school teacher and Nelson
volunteer.
KL T J has agreed to broadcast the
tape twice on Friday. KDFI-planned to
air it at 6:00 a.m. Friday, Wayburn said.

Court Will Hear Flynt vs. Fal'Well developed over the past 20 years and
claims of emotional distress will supplant
defamation in suits brought by
public figures.
By Henry J. Reske
UPI Supreme Court Reporter
WASHINGTON-The Supreme Court
agreed Monday to decide if the Rev.
Jerry Falwell can collect $200,000 for
emotional distress from smut magnate
Larry Flynt for a Hustler Magazine ad
parody that a jury decided did not libel
the television evangelist.
The court will hear arguments next
term in the case brought by Flynt seeking
review of a ruling by the 4th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals.
The case caused much concern among
the media and other defenders of the
First Amendment's guarantee of freedom
of speech and the press because of
the appeal panel's finding that a person
who was not libeled can nonetheless collect
a substantial award for suffering
emotional distress.
The claim of emotional distress,
according to court documents, is being
made frequently in libel cases and the
fear is that if the award stands many
will collect large sums of money from
sympathic jurors for published material
merely because 1t is upsetting.
Political satire has long been a staple
of American commentary-having its
roots in England-and has been given
wide protection from libel claims.
"Opinions are often distressinducing,
calculated to provoke and disturb,
often in emotionally incendiary
language," wrote the publishers of the
Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch, Richmond,
Va., News Leader and t he Fredericksburg,
Va., F ree Lance Star
newspapers in a petition in support of
Flynt.
"But opinions do not forfeit their First
Amendment protection merely because
they are harsh, indecent, or indecorous.
... Punishment of speech because it is
intended to cause emotional distress
threatens the country's long tradition of
robust political and social satire," they
contended.
The libel case began with the publication
in November 1983 of an ad parody
of an advertising campaign for Campari
Liqueur. In the real advertisements
celebritites talk about their "first time."
San Antonio Blood
Agency Criticized
By Renne Hain~s
SAN ANTONIO (UPI}--The opening
Tuesday of a for-profit blood collection
agency prompted accusations its
owners were trying to capitalize on the
AIDS scare.
But officials for American Blood Storage
in San Antonio said they were offering
an alternative to a variety of risks
associated with anonymous blood
transfusions by offering to collect and
store a customer's own blood.
"We have had the question posed to
us, are we taking advantage of the
AIDS fear. I believe all AIDS has done
is increase the public awareness of
transfusion-related problems," said
James West, president of the new company.
"We believe the public has theright to
have an option to choose something like
this, just as they choose cancer insurance
or anything else," West said.
The first day's customers ranged in
age from the 20s to 60s, with most signing
up as a precautionary measure, not
because they were anticipating elective
surgery in the near future, West said.
For a fee, the company will draw the
customer's own blood, freeze it and store
it for as long as seven years for use by
the customer, designated relatives or
others in the event of elective surgery.
The hours-long thawing process prevents
the use of the stored blood in emergency
situations.
The company also offers short-term
storage of fresh blood supplies for customers
anticipating elective surgery in
the near future.
And the company will make home or
office visits to collect blood.
About 15 similar personal blood
banks have opened around the country
in recent months. American Blood Storage
plans to open other facilities in the
next year in Dallas and Denver.
While public blood banks long have
allowed autologous donations, allowing
patients needing transfusions to receive
their own blood, West said the facilities
discourage long-term storage for individuals
not anticipating surgery
"They have an enormous task in providing
the emergency blood needed
There is a lot of scheduling and capital
involved in catering to specific needs
like this. That's where we differ," he
said.
A person's own blood is the safest,
West said.
While the screening of all public blood
donations for acquired immune deficiency
syndrome has eliminated the
chances of a patient contracting the
deadly disease from a blood transfusion,
West said no screening test is 100
percent accurate.
Other infectious diseases, such as
hepatitis, can be contracted through
transfusions from anonymous donors
despite screening, he said, also citing
the risks of allergic reactions.
Dr. Norman Kalmin, chiefofthe nonprofit
South Texas Regional Blood
Bank, said his facility already allows
autologous donations.
"The only difference between us and
them is we stress the fact there should
be a medical need for pre-deposited
blood in view of the fact that very few
people ever require a blood transfusion,"
Kalmin said. The costs for collection
and storage of pre-deposited blood
is about the same.
Since only about3 percent of the population
requires blood transfusions in a
lifetime, Kalmin said pre-storing blood
would be a waste in most cases.
No new cases of transfusion-related
AIDS have been reported since blood
banks began screening blood for its
presence two years ago, he said, and
new tests have been introduced to
screen for the presence of hepatitis.
Dr. David Gordon, a San Antonio
blood specialist, said the opening offorprofit
blood banks may only aggravate
people's fears.
"I think the fear of AIDS is what's
prompted someone to feel there is a
profit to be made," said Gordon, who is
chairman of blood banking and related
services for the Bexar County Medical
Society.
"I think this creates a good deal of
fear and panic in patients who otherwise
may need blood and may be able to
use it quite safely," Gordon said. "There
are risks of hepatitis ... but those risks
are very limited."
They mean their first encounter with
Campari, but there is a double-entendre
with a sexual connotation.
In the Huster parody, Falwell, the
well-known television preacher and
commentator on political issues who
recently took control of Jim and Tammy
Bakker's PTL Club, is the celebrity.
The fictional encounter is supposed to
be his first and it takes place while
drunk on Campari in an outhouse and
with his mother.
Falwell sued for libel, invasion of privacy
and in tentional infliction of emotional
distress.
A federal jury found against Falwell
on the libel claim because the ad was
clearly marked a parody and the court
ruled against the invasion of privacy
claim.
However, the jury returned an award
of $200,000 on the emotional distress
claim.
The award was upheld by the appeals
court in August 1986.
Seeking high court review, attorneys
for Flynt said that "First Amendment
defenses applicable to libel must also
apply to claims of intentional infliction
of emotional distress when such claims
are based upon alleged libels."
They said the appeals court specifically
rejected the defense the satire was
published without actual malice,
defined in the historic 1964 Supreme
Court decision in New York Times vs.
Sullivan as material published without
knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard
for the truth, as well as the defense
that the "parody consisted of protected
opinion and rhetorical hyperbole."
The attorneys warned if the award is
altowed to stand it will upset libel law
"If the court of appeals' holding
remains the law, nobody will dare speak
with ill will toward a public figure,"
they said.
Arguing against review, attorneys for
Falwell said: "The outrageous publication
involved in this case ... cannot possibly
compare with the barbs of political
cartoonists or the scathing pen of muckrakers."
"From a policy point of view, a line
must be drawn to accommodate those
rare instances of intentional wrongdoing
which do not strictly fit within the
libel mold."

Run to End AIDS
Arriving in Houston
Brent Nicholson Earle, now with fewer
than 5,000 miles remaining in the American
Run for the End of AIDS
(A.RE.A.), will arrive in Houston April
8.
Ea rle, a New York city playwright, is
on the fin al half of a 10,000-mile run
around the perimeter of the U.S. to promote
AIDS education and prevention
and to deliver the message " with education,
y;e can stop the spread of AIDS
and the fear of AIDS-now."
The healthy, 35-year-old ath lete
began his trip in New York City on
March 1, 1986. He has since run approximately
20 miles a day for 20 months
through 22 states.
Response to the runner, accompa nied
by a .caravan consisting of a car and a
Winnebago, has ranged from "We love
you" and "Keep going" to "Hope you
die, faggot."
Having trained himself to ignore
most taunts a long the route, Earle is
especia lly bothered by hecklers who
espound death wishes upon AIDS victims.
One of the main reasons Earle
decided to embark on this education/
awareness project is because he has lost
some 30 friends to AIDS.
The Rockport, N.Y., native also hopes
to use the run to generate funds for the
National AIDS Network. Other than
basic living expenses, he receives no
compensation. He hopes to arrive in
Washington, D.C., by Oct. 11 in time to
join the National Gay Rights March on
the Capitol. He expects to arrive back in
New York City in the beginning of
November.
Earle will arrive in Houston Wednesday,
April 8. According to an itinerary
released by the AIDS Foundation Houston,
Inc., he will a ddress the Houston
Gay Political Caucus that evening.
On Thursday, April 9, he will tour
McAdory House and Omega House.
There will be a party at Heaven, 925
Hyde Park, at 9:00 p.m. The run crew
will be present to talk about their experiences
on the road. Heaven will donate
all door receipts to the AIDS Foundation.
A.RE.A T-shirts and buttons will
be available for purchase and pledge
cards will be distributed.
A press conference will be held at the
AIDS Foundation office, 3927 Essex
Lane, at 10:00 a.m. Friday, April 10. At
11:15 a.m., Earle will begin his run from
Memoria l Drive at 610 to City Hall
where he is due to arrive at 1:30 p.m.
There will be no run on Saturday. Tshirts
will be autographed at Hit & Run,
2005 W. Gray, from 11:30 a .m.-1:00 p.m.;
TNT Shirts, 2400 Taft, 1:00 p.m.-2:30
p.m.; and Manhattan Cards, 1412 Westheimer,
3:00-4:30 p.m.
On Sunday, April 12, Earle will speak
to the congregation of Metropolitan
Community Church of the Resurrection
at 10:45 a.m. and Wheeler Avenue Bap-
Brent Nicholson Earle: Running for
the End of AIDS
tist Church at 12:45 p.m.
Sunday's activities will conclude with
a reception at the Magnolia Room, 715
Franklin. Non-perishable food items to
be donated to the AIDS Foundation
"Stone Soup" pantry will be accepted.
The Houston run will take Earle from
Memorial Drive at 610 to Shepherd,
south on Shepherd to Westheimer, east
on Westheimer to Montrose, north on
Montrose to Allen Parkway, and east on
Allen Parkway to City Hall.

Was Tammy
Having a
Realationship
with Singer
Gary Paxton?
WASHINGTON (UPl)-Tammy Faye
Bakker's relationship with a country
singer led her husband, former PTL
evangelist Jim Bakker, to a sexual
encounter with a church secretary to
"show his masculinity," The Washington
Post reported Thursday.
Gary Paxton, a Grammy Awardwinning
singer-songwriter whose songs
include "Alley Oop" and "Monster
Mash," helped produce Mrs. Bakker's
albums in the late 1970s and often the
two worked late into the night in a
recording studio in Nashville, Tenn.,
the Post said.
"(Mrs. Bakker) was in love with Gary,
or thought she was, and she knew I
knew it," said Karen Paxton, now
divorced from the singer, who was her
fourth husband.
Gary Paxton, a brawny, bearded,
colorfully dressed entertainer, told the
Post that he and Mrs. Bakker were "just
friends," but added, "You're with somebody
a lot and become too close a friend
sometimes, then realize you're too close
and quit."
The newspaper also quoted Jamie
Buckingham, a columnist for Charisma,
a Pentecostal magazine, as saying
the Bakkers confirmed that the
evangelist's 1980 fling with Jessica
Hahn was prompted by Mrs. Bakker's
relationship with Paxton.
In an interview with the Post, Buckingham
quoted Mrs. Bakker as saying
that "there had been absolutely nothing
sexual about it ... He was just someone
to talk to, a guy who would listen to me."
Paraphrasing what the Bakkers told
him about Mrs. Bakker's relationship
with Paxton, Buckingham told the
newspaper, "She was lonely and her
husband wasn't paying any attention
to her. It was a blow to Jim Bakker's
masculinity that his wife had to find
another man to talk to. It was the natural
thing for him to try and show his
masculinity" with Hahn.
Jim Bakker, who was in Charlotte,
N.C., concentrating on building his television
ministry at the time, got word of
his wife's close association with Paxton
and was "afraid" they were having an
affair, said Linda Wilson, Mrs. Bakker's
former private secretary.
Karen Paxton said that soon after she
began "picking up vibes" between Mrs.
Bakker and Paxton, Mrs. Bakker called
her and asked for a souvenir-the Paxtons'
pillow. "I just want it because it
belongs to y'all," she quoted Mrs.
Bakker as saying.
Wilson told the Post that Bakker first
sent roses to his wife when he felt her
affections were wandering, then he
refused to allow Paxton, his former
friend, to appear on his TV show.
Karen Paxton told the Post that
Bakker repeatedly called her former
husband and accused him of having an
affair with Mrs. Bakker. "After Gary
got over the initial shock, he was so mad
he told Jim, 'You short son of a bitch,
come on down here to Nashville and I'll
pound you in the ground."'
Eventually Paxton sent Bakker an
eight-page letter begging forgiveness,
which the minister returned unopened,
the newspaper said, quoting Wilson.
Bakker resigned from PTL, which
means "Praise the Lord" and "People
That Love," on March 19, first citing the
encounter with Hahn, but later saying
fellow Assemblies of God television
evangelist Jimmy Swaggart was trying
to take over his ministry.

Fal"Well Under Attack for
Fund-Raising Project
By United Press International
Evangelist Jerry Falwell, who newly
agreed to head the PTL ministry shaken
by Jim Bakker's sex scandal, has been
accused of raising $3.2 million for famine
relief in Africa while actually spending
only a fraction of it on the program.
Falwell came under fire in a U.S.
News & World Report story last Sunday
saying he raised $3.2 million in 1985-86
for famine relief in Sudan, but spent
only $300,000_:_mostly to send 15 college
students there to refurbish a camp
and to buy trucks for the project.
The magazine said Falwell raised
$740,000 from four Moral Majority
appeals and $2.5 million from other Falwell
groups.
Falwell told the magazine the $2.5
million figure was "absolutely ridiculous."
His spokesman, Mark Demoss,
added the organization had been "committed
to a 10-year famine relief project
in the Sudan that was cut short by about
nine years because of political turmoil."
According to State Department
cables and key Falwell aides, the magazine
said, the operation never directly
distributed any food in Sudan because
of obstruction against such aid by the
Sudanese government.
Falwell's project was "unable to perform
any services in Sudan," the magazine
quoted an Oct. 3, 1985, internal
State Department cable as saying.
At his Thomas Road Baptist Church
in Lynchburg, Va., Sunday, Falwell
referred repeatedly to the $172 million
PTL empire he took over March 19 when
founder Bakker resigned in a sex scandal
that shook some of the giants of television
evangelism and the Assemblies
of God church.
"There are people today just rejoicing
in this scandal," Falwell said. "But sin
is not something new that was invented
with Jim Bakker."
Falwell on Saturday raised the possibility
of a criminal investigation in the
PTL sex scandal, telling the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution that "when you
get to paying extortion money, that's
real close to the edge, especially if it's
not your money." It was the first time
Falwell had used the word "extortion"
in comments about the Bakker affair.
Oklahoma City evangelist John Wesley
Fletcher told the Charlotte (N.C.)
Observer he urged church secretary Jessica
Hahn, who had been a babysitter
for Fletcher's children, to meet Bakker
for a sexual tryst in 1980 because he
feared the PTL leader was suicidal.
Fletcher, by his own admission an
alcoholic at the time, said Bakker threatened
suicide unless he found a way to
make his wife, Tammy, jealous and win
back her affections.
The Los Angeles Times reported Sunday
that Bakker's representatives
repeatedly contacted Hahn and warned
her not to talk about her encounter with
the PTL founder. The article also said
Hahn, who was reportedly paid
$265,000 for her silence, was coerced
into signing a confession saying she
seduced Bakker.
The Times story also referred to an
alleged taped account of Hahn's tryst
with Bakker, which John Stewart, who
represented Hahn in talks with PTL
Grave Advice
for 'Holy
Warriors'
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (UPl)-A monument
firm used a tombstone in its display
window to offer some timely advice
to battling factions in the "holy war" of
television preachers.
Sears Monument Co., keeping up its
tradition of using a grave marker to
comment on current events, used stickon
letters Thursday to spell out the
names Swaggart, Falwell, Gorman,
Bakker, and Roberts on the tombstone.
"There is only one," the monument
says, advising all five "holy warriors"
to read Matthew 7:1.

be not judged."
offici'l, described as "National Enquirer
stuff."
North Carolina Assemblies of God
officials, instructed to investigate the
Bakker scandal by their denomination
headquarters in Springfield, Mo., indicated
last Sunday they would be unable
to start their investigation this past
week.
Members of the state governing board
tried to schedule a meeting Tuesday, but
some of the 16 board members could not
attend.
"We need them all together when you
have something like this," said board
member Fred Sorrels of Franklin, N.C.

Race for AIDS Vaccine Intensifies
By Jan Ziegler
UPI Science Writer
WASHINGTON-Three teams of
scientists have asked the government
for permission to begin limited human
testing of possible AIDS vaccines,
beginning a new stage in a search
expected to take at least five more years,
the government said March 26.
Food and Drug Administration spokesman
Brad Stone confirmed the
agency had received applications from
three groups of scientists to begin testing
the safety of vaccine candidates in
humans.
In addition, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director
of the National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases, said he knew of
five or six other teams that are ready to
seek testing approval from the FDA.
After testing the compounds to see if
they cause unacceptable side effects,
researchers must apply for permission
to begin a new round of trials in larger
groups of people to determine whether
the vaccines actually prevent infection
with the AIDS virus.
That, they agreed, is the hard part.
It would be unethical to expose a
human intentionally to the virus, said
Dr. Peter Fischinger, deputy director of
the National Cancer Institute, so efficacy
testing will rely to a certain extent
on chance.
Participants who receive vaccines
would be told what they are getting and
counseled to do everything they can to
avoid coming into contact with the
AIDS virus, "but nevertheless human
U.S., France
Agree on Joint
AIDS Program
WASHINGTON (UPl)-President Reagan
and French Prime Minister
Jacques Chirac announced a joint
agreement Tuesday to cooperate in finding
a vaccine or a cure for AIDS.
Reagan said the agreement covering
research , education and technology
exchanges has been reached between
the Department of Health and Human
Services and the Pasteur Institute that
resolves the differences between the two
countries over the patent rights for the
acquired immune deficiency syndrome
antibody test kit.
"The two medical groups will share
the patent and each party will contribute
80 percent of the royalties receive to
establish and support an international
AIDS Research Foundation," the president
said.
"This foundation which will also
raise private funds, will sponsor AIDS
related research and will donate 25 percent
of the funds they receive to education
and research problems in less
developed countries," he added.
"This agreement opens a new era in
Franco-American cooperation, allowing
France and the United States to join
their efforts to control this terrible disease
in the hopes of speeding the development
of a vaccine or cure," he said.
Chirac said, "I just want to add how
glad I am about this agreement to fight
against this terrific disease. We will
now work together and also create a
foundation to work against AIDS."
He called it a "good step" and said he
was "glad" to have the accord.
Koop, in a televised interview Sunday,
said a vaccine probably won't be
available for several years. "A cure, I
think, is very problematical," Koop
said. "A vaccine for this very complicated
virus-I don 't think it's in the
cards for this century."
nature will take over," he said.
Some people in each group will probably
pursue risky behavior, such as having
sex with a high-risk person without
condoms, and determining whether a
vaccine works could boil down to determining
whether more unvaccinated
people than vaccinated people become
infected.
Fauci said people in safety studies
may only have to be observed for three
months to a year after vaccination for
researchers to determine the effects of a
vaccine, but studying efficacy will take
longer.
How much longer, "I don't know,"
Fauci said. Fischinger suggested at
least three to four years. It often takes at
least that long after infection for symp-toms
of acquired immune deficiency
syndrome to start.
The comments were made during an
AIDS vaccine symposium sponsored by
the National Institutes of Health, of
which Fauci's agency is a branch.
Other problems with vaccination will
be determining whether a vaccine that
seems to protect one population, such as
test subjects in Africa, will protect others,
and developing one vaccine that
will protect against the many variations
of the AIDS virus.
Dr. Robert Gallo, a top AIDS
researcher and head of the National
Cancer lnstitute's tumor cell biology
laboratory, said it may be possible to
combine a half-dozen compounds, each
one acting against several different

virus variations, into one vaccine. lt
may also be possible to induce the
body's immune system to battle many
different virus variations when stimulated
by one compound.
Most vaccines so far are based on
fragments of the AIDS virus' outer protein
coat. One compound, however, is
based on a bit of protein from the inner
core. This particular compound, developed
by Dr. Allan Goldstein, chairman
of biochemistry at George Washington
University, and colleagues, is one of the
three under review at the FDA. The
agency is not permitted to identify the
other applicants.
Some researchers are skeptical about
the product, but Gallo said, "I think the
Goldstein data merits watching."

Second Virus IIllplicated in
AIDS-Related Cancers
rr---------il iiET PLEASERS
8787 So. Gessner
off Hwy_ 59
By Jan Ziegler
UPI Science Writer
WASHINGTON-A form of cancer suffered
by many AIDS victims may be
caused by another virus altogethernot
the generally suspected AIDS virus
infection or resulting immune system
damage, a top researcher reports.
Dr. Robert Gallo, head of the National
Cancer Institute tumor cell biology
laboratory, said March 26 evidence
points to another virus as the possible
cause of Kaposi's sarcoma and other
cancers that occur in AIDS victims.
The overwhelming majority of Kaposi's
sarcoma victims are promiscuous
homosexual males, Gallo said, and if
the cancer were a simple result of AIDS,
more of the victims from other risk
groups would be affected.
"I believe the cancers arise independently
and have nothing to do with the
(AIDS) virus," he said during an AIDS
vaccine conference at the National
Institutes of Health, parent organization
of the NCI.
It is only remotely possible the same
genetic flaw could give rise to the
cancer, he said, so whatever it is must be
environmental-and that suggests a
virus. Some research with mice tends to
support this theory, he added.
"If it is a virus, it must be a virus that
has yet to be discovered," Gallo told his
scientific colleagues.
Scientists have been meeting for two
days to hear presentations from
researchers involved in the search for a
vaccine to prevent infection with the
AIDS virus and the fatal syndrome that
results.
Three teams of scientists have asked
the government for permission to begin
limited human testing of possible vaccines,
the government confirmed Thursday.
After testing the compounds to see if
they cause unacceptable side effects,
researchers must apply for permission
to begin a new round of trials in larger

Texas Cable
TV Drops MTV
BASTROP (UPl}--A cable television
company, responding to charges that
MTV promotes drug use and devil worship,
has pulled the plug on the 24-hour
music video channel.
Jack Threadgill, owner of Bastrop
Cablevision Inc., said March 26 the rock
music channel has been replaced with
Hit Video USA, which he said is similar
to MTV but does not have objectionable
film clips.
"I don't consider myself a censor of
programming," Threadgill said. "I was
looking for a service that gave basically
the same music service, but without
having the most explicit material."
Kathy Laake, a secretary for the cable
company, said MTV has caused concern
among parents since it was introduced
three years ago.
Since January, about 50 callers have
questioned MTV's content, complaining
that it promoted drug abuse, sexual
promiscuity and devil worship, she
said.
However, since MTV was taken off
the air earlier this month, about 25 people
have called asking that it be reinstated,
Laake said.
"They feel they have the right to
watch anything they want to," she said.
Bastrop, about 30 miles southeast of
Austin, gained local notoriety in 1985
when a resident tried to ban a book from
the public library. Last year, the city
removed a free-form sculpture from a
park.

NEW YORK (UPl)-Two elaborately
dressed gay activists were crowned the
first Emperor and Empress of the Imperial
Court of New York during a drag
ball for charity at the posh Waldorf
Astoria Hotel.
Empress I Sybil Bruncheon, a musclebound
debutante in a white, strapless,
designer gown, and Emperor George I,
attired as a foreign diplomat, were
named the first New York heads of the
philanthropic organization.
The Imperial Court system was established
more than 20 years ago by gay
drag devotees on the West Coast to raise
money for gay and non-gay charities,
the ball's organizers said.
Last Saturday night's $250-a-plate,
white-tie fund-raiser drew more than
400 supporters to benefit national AIDS
and gay rights groups.

Consumer
Groups Hand
Out 'No Bell'
Awards
AUSTIN (UPl)-In honor of April
Fools Day, consumer groups presented
special awards Wednesday to telephone
companies that think consumers can be
fooled in to believing they will benefit
from telephone service deregulation.
Tom Smith of Public Citizen and
Carol Barger of Consumers Union said
Texas consumers will be the losers
under deregulation bills pending before
the Legislature.
"If passed, these bills will result in
higher local and long distance rates for
residential consumers and small businesses,"
Barger said. "The benefits of
competition won't find their way to
rural Texas. It will be concentrated
among high volume, urban customers."
Barger said Texas consumers are dissatisfied
with telephone divestiture,
and "we're hereto say nobody's going to
be fooled again."
Barger presented the "Dumb Bell"
award to AT&T.
"AT&T thinks it can fool the public
into believing they will continue to provide
the newest in long distance services
at low cost to both rural and urban
Texans at equal rates under deregulation."
She said the 100-year-old telephone
company would like the public to believe
that it is in a competitive disadvantage
with other long distance companies
that began after deregulation.
A bill pending in the Senate would
allow AT&T to reduce or increase its
rates without approval by the Public
Utility Commission.
Smith presented the "Bad Bell"
award to Southwestern Bell, which he
said is trying to sell the public a bill that
will "create urban high tech heavens
and leave rural consumers in the telecommunications
rustlands."
The bill would a llow Bell to offer new,
experimental services in cities but not
require the services for rural customers.
Smith presented the "No Bell" award
to MCI, Sprint and other long distance
companies that have dropped their
opposition to AT&T deregulation.
"IF they really believe there will be a
share of the market left for them after
AT&T deregulation, they deserve a "No
Bell" prize," Smith said. "It's an invisible
prize because that's how much of a
share they will have left."
with flowing trains, 17th century costumes,
and classic black and punk-style
dresses were greeted by cheering crowds
at the historic Park Avenue hotel.
The newly crowned empress, who by
day is actor John Burke, said he has
used his drag act for two years to raise
funds for AIDS service groups such as
New York's Gay Men's Health Crisis.
The head of the International Court
Conference of the Americas, identified
as Empress Nicole, gave an impassioned
keynote address, calling for acceptance
of less conventional gay people.
"It was not our organizers in
Washington that started our fight, but
our sisters in drag who threw the first
rocks at Stonewall," he said, referring to
the New York bar where effeminate gay
men resisted a raid that was a common
form of police harassment in the 1960s.

12 MONTROSE VOICE I APRIL 3, 1987
Koop Says AIDS Researchers
Hindered by Lack of Sex Studies
for the rest of this century, at the very
least."
Koop said he was concerned about
studies that show blacks and Hispanics
are are disproportionately afflicted with
the disease because of the high number
of intravenous drug users among their
By De'A nn Weimer populations.
AUSTIN (UPl)-The efforts of scientists
attempting to unravel the mystery
of AIDS have been hampered by a lack
of scientific study of sexuality in America
following the sexual revolution of
the 1960s and 1970s.
U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop
said March 26 that AIDS researchers
must compare data gathered about
AIDS and its transmission with the
1940 results of sexual practices among
American adults as identified in the
Kinsey report.
Koop spoke to a joint session of the
Texas Legislature and requested
increased state support for research projects
on AIDS.
"We're taking AIDS understanding of
1986 and sexual behavior of 1940 and
projecting it, and you and I know there
was a thing called the sexual revolution
between those two dates," he said.
For that reason, Koops said he
believes the number of people infected
with AIDS virus is "under reported."
"We've done the best that we can with
the information available to us, but if
you think back about what you've seen
published about the sexual behavior of
men and women in this country, there's
really only one thing in any large
volume, and that's the Kinsey Report in
1940," he said.
Koop said he "would love to see some
way of anonymously testing a large
group of people" for the AIDS virus to
give physicians and scientists a clear
picture of how many people are infected.
"We desperately need as much information
as we can get if we are to project
what is going to happen in this country
five years from now, 10 years from
now," he said.
And Koop said the change in attitudes
about sex and the AIDS epidemic
makes it essential for children to
become educated about the disease.
"If we're going to educate them about
AIDS, we certainly have to let them
know something about their own sexuality,"
he said. "We have a responsibility
to pass this information on to our
children. I personally prefer that this be
done by parents in the homnes of America."
But Koop said school systems must
develop human sexuality education programs
that go beyond existing sex education
programs that students have
dubbed "organ recitals."
The surgeon general said there are
only three weapons that can slow the
spread of acquired immune deficiency
syndrome-abstinence, monogamous
relationships and condoms.
Meanwhile Koop warned that by 1991
the cost of caring for AIDS victims will
be twice the federal government's current
budget for all of its public health
programs.
"The costs of this disease to our
society are already high and they are on
their way to becoming astronomical,"
he said. "The present costs of research
and patient care are already running
into the hundreds of millions of dollars,
and before the decade passes they will
be in the tens of billions of dollars."
Koop reminded legislators that twothirds
of the Texans stricken with A IDS
since 1981 have died and that 250,000
people will die of the illness by 1991.
"Projections for the future are alarming,"
he said. "It will be a nine-fold
increase."
Estimating that AIDS will cost the
nation $70 billion in 1991, Koop c11lled
on legislators to come up with creative
ways to fund care for AIDS victims that
would not bankrupt government and
private insurance companies.
for Immunological Disorders in Houston
announced Wednesday that it hopes
to begin testing a vaccine for the disease
in humans.
Twelve percent of the nation's population
is black, but 22 percent of AIDS
patients are black. And Hispanics make
up 14 percent of AIDS patients,
although only 6 percent of the nation's
population is Hispanic.
Hospitals and scientists in Texas and
California are leading the nation in
research to develop drugs that are effective
against the disease. The Institute
"Like the rest of us you have only
begun what appears to be a long and
fearful journey," said Koop. "All signs
point to this disease being a burden to us

APRIL 3, 1987 I MONTROSE VOICE 17
Life in the Fast Lane
The Innocent Bystander
By Arthur Hoppe
I've been listening to Congress debate
whether to raise the speed limit from 55
to 65. After carefully weighing the arguments,
analyzing the consequences and
deliberating the philosophical questions
involved, I've taken an irrevocable
stand on this all-important issue.
First, let's take a
look at what's involved
: S enator
Steven Symms,
chief sponsor of the
65 mph bill, said
that the 55 mph limit
cost one billion additional
hours of
passenger time each
year. On the other
hand, the National
Safety Council, speaking in opposition,
said the lower limit saved 3,000 lives a
year.
That comes out to 333,333 hours sitting
in a car to save one life. This is a
long time. Now let's say that the person
whose life is saved has perhaps 43 years
or so left to live. That's about 333,333
hours. So we see that for every extra
hour we sit in a car we extend our lives
an extra hour.
That sounds like a pretty good deal,
but not everyone agrees. Says Millicent
M., "I'd rather be peacefully pushing up
daisies than be jammed between two
thundering semis on a fume-chocked
freeway." I explained to her that was
exactly the choice, but she stuck to her
guns.
The problem here is tha most Americans
have not made the necessary effort
to properly utilize those extra hours
they've been spending in their cars.
This could be qua lity time. Why not
embark on a serious flirtation with the
person in the window of the bus in front
of you? Or you could turn on your
cassette player and listen to Books on
Tape or learn enough Chinese to say,
"No, no! This is one-way the other way!"
But after a hard day at the office, most
people lack the energy to do more than
steer, push the pedals, honk the horn
and curse. Thus we must turn our attention
to what Americans will do with the
extra hours they'll save at 65 mph.
Fortunately, most Americans who
drove at 55 mph when the patriotic limit
was imposed to save oil in 1974 are
already driving 65, so we have their well
of experience to draw on. For example,
Dr. Huntley L., an amateur veterinarian,
arrived home an hour early on May
24, 1981, and discovered a cure for
coreopsis.
Dr. L. is, however, the exception. More
typical is Heironymous B., a piano
mover. When he was driving 55, Mr. B.
would arrive home at 7:00 p.m., and
have a drink before dinner while watching
Wheel of Fortune with his wife,
Mary, who had intellectual pretensions.
She didn't mind, though, because she
had already watched the MacNeilLehrer
Report at 6:00.
But when Mr. B. sped up to 65 mph he
arrived home at 6:00 and wanted to
watch Magnum P.I. while having three
drinks before dinner. So they had an
extra hour to tell each other that (1) she
was not a fun person, (2) he was a mushbrain,
(3) she was a common nag, and
(4) he drank too much.
Needless to say, after less than 20
extra hours of marital togetherness over
a period of only a month, Mrs. B. packed
up and went home to her mother, who
not only loved the McNeil-Lehrer
Report but Wall Street Week in Review.
As for Mr. B., he became a querulous
drunk and is today without family,
friends or a job- all because he drove 65
mph.
True, there are a few arguments in
favor of the 65 mph limit, all of them
specious. Swaggo G., a 16-year-old dropout,
got home an hour earlier from the
Senior Prom by driving 65, and, as his
father, Mr. G., says, "Anything that
gets that kid off the streets sooner will
improve traffic safety."
But there's nothing inherently safer
about arriving home an hour earlier.
Branghilda M. did just that by driving
65. She was thus in time to answer the
door when a secular humanist evangelist
called. Converted by his literature,
she is now selling her favors in a Pago
Pago dance hall.
So by every rational argument, it
behooves us all to drive no faster than
55, enriching our lives with those extra
hours that sane conduct will provide.
I am, however, vehemently in favor of
raising the speed limit to 65. I have a
very good reason for this. I want to drive
70 again.

Taurus and Mate
Should Now Work
Together
By Mark Orlon
Your Horoscope from the Voice
For Fflday evening. April 3, through Friday
morning. Apnl 9. 1987
ARIES-You'll meet someone soon
who seems to be a soul mate but let time
and understanding take their course
before you make this person a larger part
of your life. The danger of illusion is all
around, but at least it provides relief from
all the work you've got to do.
TAURUS-You and your lover or close
one may play together well, but this time
it's an opportunity to work together, also.
The dreamer of you two could inspire the
more practical one in the process, and
find stimulation in concrete plans. It does
both of you a lot of good.
GEMINI-A good time for getting married.
Well, if not in the legal sense, it's still
the time to make that firm and strong
committment, if you believe that this is it,
this is the one. Heart and head are united.
CANCER- A short jaunt, a quick trip,
something that allows you time off from
the everyday world is in the picture this
time. Could be you don't even plan it.
Could be some mystery and suspense
involved. Sounds like a good way to set
off into spring.
LEO-Finishing with one thing means
it's time to start another. A bright idea
may come your way, so keep your mind
open and seize the moment when it
comes. Your lover or close one may talk
you out of it, but stick to your guns. Get
started.
VIRGO-Don't be so nasty. All your
nervous energy could be used for something
better than a personal attack. It's
going to be a long, hot, spring and
summer, and you're feeling edgy
already? Pay some attention to what
relaxes you. Cool it down, hot stuff!
LIBRA-Too much talk and too little
action could keep you from holding on to
that vision of ecstacy you had last time.
Stop yakking1 Some things are better
enjoyed in silence Autie Mame said life is
a banquet; it's a concert, too, and most
people are too damned dumb to shut up
and listen
SCORPIO- The indecisiveness that
was driving you crazy is now over, but the
decision that you've made brings
changes in your life that were totally
unexpected. Don't let that discourage
you. Don't get lost in the haze again. Take
one day at a time.
SAGITTARIUS-Relationships work
on so many different levels. You and your
lover could discover even deeper understanding
of one another just by staying
close and offering some extra support.
CAPRICORN- That love affair that got
you going last time should be the focus of
your life right now. It's allowing you to
appreciate and see yourself in a new and
better way. You like what you're seeing in
the mirror, and so does your lover.
AQUARIUS- What happened to theupfront,
direct approach that Aquarious
is so well known for? Your personal confusion
has you hiding behind a mask; and
those close to you aren't fooled by it for
an instant. Open up, and let them help.
PISCES- Who do you think you are, a
Gemini? Taking things apart to analyze
them is good and necessary in many
situations, but know when to stop and
smell the roses. Your brain's working
overtime at the expense of your heart. So
relax

Drug Abuse, fEIFFER®
Medical Costs
Top America's
Problem List
NEW YORK !UPl)-Drug abuse, the
rising cost of medical care and the federal
budget deficit are America's three
most serious social and economic problems,
according to a Conference Board
survey of 5,000 families.
In contrast, the threat of nuclear war
and pornography were considered by
those polled to be the least serious, said
the report, released Wednesday.
The survey, which included 18 different
problem areas, was conducted for
the business research group by
National Family Opinion, Inc., of
Toledo, Ohio.
People in virtually all age and income
groups were most concerned about drug
abuse, medical costs and the federal
deficit. The survey also suggested that
the public's major concerns were not
always the same as those expressed by
public officials, a board spokesman
said.
Following the top three issues were
unemployment, crime and job losses in
manufacturing. Those surveyed were
also concerned about alcoholism, the
plight of American farmers, AIDS, poverty,
the foreign trade deficit and the
homeless, in that order.
Rounding out the list of worries were
pollution, the cost of housing, whitecollar
crime and smoking. Last on the
list were pornography and the threat of
nuclear war, the survey showed.
The survey underscored both major
differences and similarities among this
country's different age and income
groups, the board said. Some key findings
included:
-The rising cost of medical care
topped the lists of worries for Americans
over 55, and also ranked as the
leading concern of younger people.
-Concern about the federal deficit
rose sharply with age and income. It
was the No. 1 worry among those earning
$50,000 and up.
-Unemployment was a critical
worry of people under 45 but diminished
as a major concern among older age
groups. In terms of geography, unemployment
was the major concern of people
living in the nation's oil-dominated
areas but was only a minor concern of
those living in New England.
-Families in the farm-dominated
North Central states showed more concern
for the plight of the American
farmers than the rest of the nation. But
even in those agricultural states, the
deficit was considered a more serious
problem.

April 8 with a champagne reception) is
$10, not $15. Then the film will open its
regular run on April 10.
Houston Screens by Bill O'Rourke
Montrose Voice
Blind Date is a very funny movie. But it
is in somewhat questionable taste.
Alcoholism is a disease. This film
knows that. At one point, Nadia, played
by Kim Basinger, explains that her
drinking problem has something to do
with an allergy.
Most of the humor in the show comes
from the way that champagne affects
the lady. Therefore, the audience is put
into the position of making fun of a sick
person for being sick.
Walter (Bruce Willis) has gotten himself
into a bind. His boss is having an
important dinner party. Walter's date
bowed out at the last minute. He must
have one. His boss thinks of him as too
studious and not flashy enough as it is.
None of his other female friends are
available on such short notice. So he
allows his brother, a shady car salesman,
to set him up with a blind date.
Bruce Willis? Bruce Willis can't find a
date? I know that sounds like miscasting,
but it's very believable in context.
However, though this character has the
arch humor that his character in
"Moonlighting" does, it has next to
none of the quick-witted inventiveness.
In fact, in this movie Willis becomes the
"straight man" off whom a small collection
of zanies bounce their jokes. In concept,
and occasionally in execution, this
role might remind some of a younger
George Bums, but Willis has none of
Burns' depth, hence little of his underlying
warmth.
I know many are awaiting Waiting
for the Moon, which features and Llnda
Hunt and Llnda Bassett as Gertrude
Stein and Alice B. Toklas. I am assured
that it will be shown at least once during
the Houston International Film Festival,
April 17-26. Then it will probably
open for a regular run at the Greenway
III on May 1.

I'm not sure.

Walter's brother has told him that
when Nadia drinks she loses control
and becomes a wild woman. Interpreting
that sexually, Walter makes sure
she arrives at the party soused. In an
innocent, unihibited way, Nadia completely
trashes the evening. Basinger is
very, very funny in this role.
Later, to get even, Walter trashes a
party SO!llC of Nadia's friends are having.
As he does so, he is guilty, vulgar
and offensive. Not funny.
Meanwhile, they have attracted the
attention of Nadia's super-jealous exboyfriend.
David (John Larroquette)
will stop at nothing to get Nadia back
and to protect her from other suitors.
This is pure slapstick, charactercomedy
at its best.
Later, Nadia becomes engaged to
David to save Walter's hide. The question
becomes "Can Walter win Nadia
away from David and marry her himself?"
That leads to a night of preambulations
which reminded me of Victor! Victoria
(by the same director) and a
wedding scene that reminded my companion
of The Graduate. One of this
movie's problems is that it keeps
reminding us of movies that are much
better than it is itself.

Mahoney {Steue .Guttenberg, left) and Harris (G. W. Baile\', right) go at
each other in "mouth-to-mouth" combat as Jones {Michael Winslou·) looks

It is definitely one of the minor works
in the ouvre of director Black Edwards.
Still, Edwards was the director of the
"Pink Panther" series. He hasn't completely
lost his touch for inventive
funny business.
Blind Date is not a horrible movie. On
the contrary, it's very entertaining. It
has a few good belly-laughs in it. But I
cannot wholeheartedly recommend
that you pay full price for it.

Reagan Speaks on AIDS-Finally ing in the military.
"For the president to take credit for
this is like going in front of the American
Heart Association and claiming
credit for paying hospitalization costs
for coronary heart disease," Dunne
said.
By Norman D. Sandler
PHILADELPHIA (UPl)- President
Reagan called Wednesday for a concerted
AIDS education program, but
only with a strong dose of moral instruction
to discourage sexual activity
among young people and recognize that
"prevention is better than cure."
Branding the disease "public health
enemy No. l" in a speech to a medical
group, Reagan punctuated his most substantive
statement yet on AIDS with a
call for schools to discourage sexual
freedom blamed by many for its spread.
"Let's be honest with ourselves," he
said. "AIDS information cannot be
what some call 'value neutral.' After all,
when it comes to preventing AIDS,
don't medicine and morality teach the
same lessons."
Reagan, in remarks to the College of
Physicians of Philadelphia, described
the AIDS epidemic, which has killed
about 19,000 Americans, as "the most
obvious and disturbing exception" to
recent strides that show "the pulse of
American medicine is strong."
However, he hailed "unprecedented
progress" since the virus was discovered
just years ago and said the
government is doing everything possible
to battle AIDS.
As an example, he lauded the Food
and Drug Admini3tration's expedited
approval two weeks ago of the drug AZT
as an effective-if expensive and, for
some victims, inaccessible-treatment
for symptoms of the disease.
"The limit on AIDS research today is
not money or will," he said, "but the
physical limits ofresearch facilities and
the number of people trained in the
necessary techniques."
•MONTROSE KROGER STORE

"But all the vaccines and medications
in the world won't change one basic
truth: that prevention is better than
cure," he said, "and that's particularly
true of AIDS, for which right now there
is no cure. This is where education
comes in."
On the question of education and
prevention, Reagan walked a tightrope
that reflected a clash of views within his
administration on how to promote
greater awareness of AIDS and steps to
prevent its spread.
Reagan appeared to embrace the
course championed by Education Secretary
William Bennett and other conservative
activists in charting a limited
role for the federal government and
sidestepping questions raised by Surgeon
General Everett Koop's crusade
for condom use and other "safe sex"
techniques.
"The federal role must be to give educators
accurate information about the
disease," Reagan said. "How that information
is used must be up to schools and
parents."
Koop has surprised some onetime critics
and angered some former loyalists
on the political right by waging an
aggressive crusade for better education
and "safe sex" prevention. His outspokeness
has run into a wall of opposition
from Bennett and other leaders of
the conservative movement, which
fears public alarm over AIDS-shown
by polls to be second only to cancer as a
dominant health concern-will lead to
more sex education and encourage
greater promiscuity.
A recent AIDS education initiative
issued by the Department of Health and
Human Services was toned down under
•4 EXPRESS LANES DAILY
pressure from conservatives to emphasize
abstinence and monogamous relationships
for avoiding AIDS. By
concentrating on those options, however,
the report flew in the face of a
warning by Koop that a prevention program
rooted in abstinence "is totally
unrealistic."
Reagan, prodded by Congress, has
consented to sharp increases in federal
support for AIDS research in the last
few years.
The Department of Health and
Human Services has requested $534
million for AIDS-related functions in its
1988 budget request, a 28.5 percent
increase over the 1987 appropriation of
$415.6 million.
Some critics from both parties in Congress
have criticized even this appropriation
as too low. In a report last October,
scientists convened by the National
Academy of Sciences recommended the
government spend $1 billion annually
on AIDS education and $1 billion a year
on research by 1990.
The panel of scientists also recommended
the White House take a leadership
role in the fight against AIDS, as it
has in the battle against illegal drug
use.
Until recently, the president has largely
stayed away from the issue.
Gay Men's Health Crisis, a non-profit
education and support organization in
New York, said "no one could be more
pleased" that Reagan "has finally
spoken on the issue of AIDS."
However, executive director Richard
Dunne said that of the $1.75 billion earmarked
for AIDS in fiscal 1987 and
1988, $700 million covers mandated
Medicare and Medicaid costs and test-
Never comfortable with the issues
raised by a disease whose chief victims
have been homosexual men and drug
addicts, Reagan has commented on
AIDS only on rare occasions in the last
few years, usually framing his comments
in terms of the federal commitment.
Thai Prisoners

Testing
BANGKOK, Thailand (UPI)- Prison
inmates are undergoing tests for AIDS,
and initial blood samples indicate no
signs of the virus in the prisoners,
health officials said Thursday.
Analysis of 153 blood samples
showed no sign of the AIDS virus, and
another 520 samples must be examined,
a Health Ministry official said. Among
those tested were 44 foreigners. There
are 186 foreigners in prisons in Bangkok,
including 42 Americans.
Health officials say six confirmed
cases of AIDS-including three Americans
have been discovered in Thailand
since late 1984.
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome
breaks down the body's immune
system, making its victim suseptible to
other diseases. High risk groups include
homosexuals and drug addicts.
A U.S. Embassy spokesman said the
tests would become part of routine
health care for Thai and foreign
inmates in the prisons.

Group Seeks Accurate
Portrayals of Honiosexuals
By Catherine Gewertz
LOS ANGELES (UPl)- Chris Uszler
and his band of beneficent spie$ are out
to change the world and they have
started by infiltrating Hollywood.
The Mission accepted by Uszler and
his organization, the Alliance for Gay
and Lesbian Artists, is deceptively simple:
change the world's perception of
homosexuals by making certain they
are represented realistically in movies,
television and theater.
"Prejudice and hatred comes from
unfamiliarity and uncertainty," said
Uszler, AGLA's executive director.
"The more people know, the less likely
they are to act in a bigoted or prejudiced
manner when in their lives they meet
someone gay or lesbian."
One of the methods the 8-year-old
organization employs in its makeover of
the gay media image is to reward positive
portrayals with its annual media
awards, held this year in March.
AGL.A's Media Watch Committee
monitors and reacts to the images of
gays and lesbians projected in film and
television and intervenes in gay-related
issues concerning working actors in
Hollywood.
After Rock Hudson died of complications
from AIDS in October 1985, Media
Watch publicly attacked news media
reports that AIDS hysteria was sweeping
Hollywood.
In t~e wake of Hudson's death, the
committee worked to educate actors and
directors concerned about openmouthed
kissing scenes, telling them
that medical experts did not believe
kissing put them at high risk for the
deadly virus.
But one of AGL.A's most important
missions is in the hands of sleuths
AGLA members working in dozens of
Hollywood niches, from secretaries to
big-name producers, Uszler said.
While on the job, they keep an eye out
for signs that gays are being badly portrayed
in upcoming projects and then
pass the word to AGL.A's Clearinghouse
Committee.
Sometimes tips come in the night,
anonymously and unsolicited.
"Someone will mail us a script or
leave a message on the phone machine
that this thing is going on, or this story
is being drafted and we should know
about it," Uszler said. "Sometimes they
leave us names so we know who to
approach."
And approach they do. Clearinghouse
Committee members meet with
screenwriters, producers, network pro~
ammers whoever is shaping a proiect,
to try to have some impact on the
final result, Uszler said.
gays and lesbians are; that we're not a
threat to them or to this society," Uszler
said.
"Because the AIDS crisis has
inflamed homophobia, what goes out
now is more important than ever in
terms of telling the truth about the gay
and lesbian community."
For Uszler, the issue is not just an
abstract cause, a social challenge to be
met. It is a personal mission with stinging
memories attached.
He recalls how he felt as a 15-year-old
in Milwaukee in 1968, keeping the secret
that he was gay and watching a segment
of the police series, "N.Y.P.D.",
one of the first shows to portray gays on
episodic television.
"There was a lot of negativity in it,"
Uszler said. "The whole message was
that gays' lives are not worth living. I
remember how awful I felt and how
deeply it impacted me. That fuels my
involvement with AGLA.
"Young people are struggling with
their sexuality and the media can reach
them and teach them to have pride in
themselves."

An example of AGL.A's success in
such discussions is "The Cartier
Affair," a recent made-for-TV movie
starring Joan Collins and David Hasselhoff.
Tipped to the script by an actor
who read for the role and was offended
by what he felt was anti-gay humor,
AGLA met with NBC officials and the
script was revised, Uszler said.
Sooner or later, everyone's vacant at
Producers and writers also initiate
consultations with AGLA on their own
when they are working on shows with
gay themes. Uszler said that at CBS's
request, AGLA reviewed an upcoming
afternoon special aimed at teens, "What
If I'm Gay."
Uszler said AGL.A's role in educating
the public is especially important now
that AIDS has gripped the attention of
heterosexuals and homosexuals alike.
