As others have done before
them. the North Montrose
Civic Association went to bnt·

blight in their neighborhood:
JUl apartment house said to be
serving as a whorehouse.
"We've had rowdy tramps,
ex-cons and drug users raising
hell at 1121 W. Gray for three
years;· said Jody Bob, whose
home is near the vacant back
lot of the apartment.
"We just got fed up'.'
In cooperation with other
members of the NMCA and
the Neartown Association, Jo.

vacant lot through which alleged
drug users ptt.ssed to get
to the apartment.
The owner promptly fenced
it off.

Fighting neighborhood
crime houi-es is nothing new in
Monlrofie.
First the Mandell Civic As·
sociation won a battle against
street p~titutes by harassing
them out of the neighborhood.
Then members of the Park
Street Association went after
street prostitutes and shady
businei:;~es along Westheimer.
near Chutes, with the coopers·
tion of Chutes' owner.
The prostitutes disappeared,
movJne to another part of the
Wetitheimer.
A dilapidated bus, home to
one or more prostitutes, was removed.
"This is no easy thing;• Susan
Bruneni, a NMCA member
said.
"It's dangerous. Ifit was only
the prostitutes, that we can
handle. It's the drug business.

•·Some of these new C8Ae8 are
the result of only one expo8ure to
un99fe sex among men who previ·
ously had been practicing Hfe
8exual activities," he said in an in·
~rview. "People should not become
overconfident and should
realize letting your guard down
once or twice may be once or twice
too much:'
Using data from the San Fran·
cisco City Clinic Cohort Study, the
reeearchers compared 14 men who
t.e9ted positive for the human im·
munodeficiency virus between
l~ and 191:S8 to a control sample
of men who had negative retmlt.a.
The subjects were asked about
specific sexual practicee and the
number of sexual partners.
Lifson listed unprotected anal
intercourbe and high numbere of
ttexual partners as the leading risk
factors among the men who tested
J>08lllve.
"Personal historie. also revealed
a surprising variety of misinformation
and misunderstand·
ing about HIV and it.I risk factors
as well as pointing to the role
heavy use of alcohol playa in en·
gaging in unsafe sex;' Lifson said.
The HIV infection rate among
gay men in the Cohort Study
dropped from a high of almost 20
percent in 1982 to 0 percent in
19S7, a reduction attributed to pr~
vention and education effon.s
within San Francisco's large gay
male community.
In l~. howeve~ new HIV in·
fe<"tions in the group t08e to 3 per·
cent.
The Cohort Study followed the
histories of HIV infeclion and ac·
quired immune deficiency syn·
drome among 6697 homosexual
and bisexual men who initially
participated in Hepatitis 8 studies
at San Francisco'• City Clinic between
1978 and 1980.
"As we face new challenges in
the war against AJDS, we want to
be sure we don't. take our past successes
for granted;' said Dr. David
Werdeger, San Francisco director
of health. ''.AIDS requires that we
be ever vigilant., and Di: Lifson's
report provides the direction need·
ed'.'
To date, 6960 San Franciscans
have been afflicted with the fatal
disease, and 4509 have died, according
to the San Francisco
Health Department. Health
officials said of these, 85.9 percent
were homosexual or bisexual men.
Since not all HIV.positive persons
get a fully developed case of
the disease, the numbers of per·
sons infected with the AIDS virus
are much higher, but exact figures
are not available.
Nat.ion wide, the Centers for Disease
Control in Atlanta report.a
102,621 cases of AIDS through July,
and 59,391 deaths. Of the victims,
68,724-or 67 percent-were
homosexual and bisexual men.

also use the FLAG acronym.
Golf club Preeident Charles
Crosswhite said he has been inun·
dated with calls from golfers who
are concerned that they are being
pulled into the nude dance debate.
"I was astonished to see the acronym
being used;' Cro88white
said. "I can appreciate that it was
an honest error and we don't fault.

The golfers attorney, David
Welch, notified I.he anti·nudist.s'
Tuesday that. their use of the name
"constitutes an infringement. and
fosters the deceptive appearance
that there is asponsorshipor affil·
iation bet.ween the two organiza·

The anti·nudisll are amused but
said they would do whatever the
law requires.
"It's a very common acronym.
It's short, catch, easy to remember.
It's like God, motherhood and apple
pie:• said John Cochrane, who
represent.a the anti·nudist.s
But the anti·nudity group is not
the only one wrapping itself in the
FLAG to promote a cause.
The 1'"'LAG acronym is also used
by the Federal Lesbians And

Law and Government; the Jo'emale

Florida Association fortheGifled,

Although Richmond attributed
his illness to his 8exuol activity,
Oodson said he could not trace it.

The doctor also could not say
how sexually active Richmond before
his diagnosis, or whether he
used prostitutes.

Richmond, 34, died in a coma al
Good Samaritan Hospital. Doctors
said at the ti.me he died of
pneumonia and refuaed to give
further details at the request of his
family.
Richmond's parent.a and his sis·
~r. who live in nearby Deerfield

day in the hope others might be
spared his fate, Dodson said.
"They !oat. a son to AIDS and
they don't want. anybody else to

Dodson eaid Richmond refrained
from sex after his diagnosis
but. the doctor could not. say if
Richmond's previous partners
were infonned of his infection.
Richmond died from several
complicating factors aasociated
with AIDS, buL that. the official
cause of death was

"I thought. the world of Tim:•
said Oodaon, who had treated
Richmond since Feb. 1987. "I

Richmond, Rookie of the Year at

13 races and earned $2.2 million
during his eight-year career. He
won two more races ofter his
AIDS diagnosis, in the summer of
1987, and weakened again.
Dodson said Richmond was able
to continue racing aided by the
drug.
"He fought t.he disease for as

Richmond tried to stage a comeback
in 1988 but. failed a drug uri·

The Montrow VoiCi'
An inmate in a federal
correctional facility near Dallru..
who spoke on a Houston radio
talk show Sunday, Aug. 20, said
he now feara retribution from the
inmates and prison staff he ac·
cused of violating his civil rights.
Ray Huff, who has AJOS, is a
resident of the Federal
Correctional Institution at
Seagoville. In a call·in interview
on KPIT's The Prison Show,
hosted by Ray Hill, he told Hous·
ton listenen that he hru; been ha·
rasscd and miP1trcat.ed since Ft-hruary
because staff membens de·
liberately leaked confidential in·
formation about his illness tooth·
er inmates. Huff has served 27
months of a three year sentence
for credit card abuse, and is slated
for release next month.
Huff told the Montrose Voice on
Monday that his decision to go
public with his plight may lead to
a disciplinary action which could
affect his Sept. 14 parole date.
Still, he said, he had no qualms
about calling attention to the in·
justices he says people with AIDS
face daily in the prison syt:item.
.. There are a lot o( crazy people
in prison, and a Jot of ignorance;•
Huff said. "~~verything changes

once tht> information <that an in·
mate has AIDS) get.a out. You
have to be careful you don't up1:1et
anybody, and careful about every·
thinJC you do or touch.''
Huff said he is treated with dis·
dain and hostility by the other in·
mates as a direct result of unnecessary
actions by four staff per·
sons at the facility and the inmate
trustees working undf>r them. He
also said that he want.ffi people to
be informffi of what wru1 happen·
ing, bt-cauHe pressure from the
public may force thet1e employees
to account for their actions.
'I don't want it toe as hard for
the other (PWAsJ 88 it has been
for me~ he explained.
But while he believes positive
changeg will come as a result of
his overtures to the media and a
civil lawsuit he is planning to file,
Ray Huff worries what the immediate
consequencee of his actions
will be for him.
"I have an effective parole
date ... unlel's I get a dit:iciplinary
action. I could be locked down(in
iaolat1on1 for anything they can
ccime up with. ha\.ing too many
matches, or too many envelopes;'

ea), he said.
Huff said that when he first
took ill. he waa locked up for three
days, alone and without treat·
ment, while awaiting transporta·
tion to Springfield.
Hugh Dalton, a friend and for·
mer fellow inmate, reported that
inmateti were encouraged by pris·
on ~tafftoavoid Huff, and totreat
him as an undesirable. Dalton,
who trained as a paralegal while
in prison, is now his friend's mmn
link to the outaide world and the
full·time champion of his cause.

the disease, but played on the in·
mates' lack of knowledge and fear
simply to harass.

I mut1t confess that when Main
Street Theater first presented
"The Trust'' a couple of years
ago. and then revived it follow·
ing huge success, I wasn't motivated
to see it. Now that it
has appeared for a third time, I
really went out of a sense of du·
ty more than interest. It was
my loss not to have seen it
sooner.
"The Trust" by J. Douglas
Kilgore is a play based on the
true story of the murder of Wilham
Marsh Rice, a philanthropist
who founded Rice Institute
(now University)_ He was
poisoned by his valet, who con·
spired with a cunning attorney
to steal his fortune.
The progression of this misdeed
iH outlined for us during
tht" evening. Kilgore skillfully
flei:ihefi out details and motive~.
yf't gives us insight into
th(> characters who actually
hvt>d the tum-of-the-century
event.

Kilgore employs two devices
which move the plot foT'A-·ard
and serve as transitions. One
such device is the use of a nar·
rator, also a main character,
and the other is a barber shop
quart.et, which rings some
light into the dark proceedings.
For those theater-goers who
are oft.en dissatisfied with the
absence of plot in some plays,
and television viewers who
are addicted to "real life"
dramas, "The Trust" will be
satisfying. It is heavy on story
and also very entertaining.
"The Trust" has a largeca~t
of 14. With a couple of minor
exceptivns, the performance is
a skilled one.
As Rice, Actor's Equity
guest artist Harold Suggs is a
delight to watch. He offers a
mulli·layered performance as
a vital. powerful, gruff man
undercut by the effects of his
valet's deception.
Maurice Tuttle as th<' gulli·
hie and greedy valet, Charlie
Jone8, maintains our sympathy
throughout the pi<.-ce, despite
his poisoning of Rice. It
would be easy to hate thi8
man, but strangely we don't.
Tuttle's interpretation is that
A •hort, filmttl L·er•wn of Capt. Bakers 1931 Commencf'ment addreu u:as

hi• father Edgar Odell Lovett, Riee·• fir;;t president. mtroducmg Raker,
played in the film by J.D. 1'homu
Jones is a victim of manipulation
by the amoral attorney,
Albert Patrick, and it works.
Charles Tanner plays the
evil attorney Patrick as a supreme
manipulator, not without
charm. His performam:e
suggests a clever. intelligent
lawyer who is ultimat<'IY by
his gn-ed and the bumbling of
the valet, Jones. It is a wellC'onceived
performance.
Real life attorney Hill
Blanton plays Capt. James A.
Baker, the Houston attorney
who eventually sorts out thf:'
facts of Rice's death and
brings Patrick and Jones to
justice. He also serves as the
play's narrator. Blanton
brings a naturalism to his role
and a likeable quality. It
serves him well, since he is the
"good guy" of the piece.
Leslianne McDonnell as
Marie Van AIRtyne, a
beautiful friend of Rice's;
Dean Turner as the scholarly
planner of Rice Institute, Emmanuel
Raphael, and Mimi
Stebenne as Elizabeth Baldwin
Rice contribute strong
supporting performances.
Barbara S. Hartman, in the
cameo role of Mrs. Addie
Francis, Patrick's landlady,
also does well.
Cabot Parsons, in dual roles
as the banker Swenson and as
the New York assistant district
attorney, was generally
capable, but his appearance
seemed out of sync with the period
of the piece.
J. W. Moore, as Dr. Curry and
the handwriting expert, was
not believable in either role. I
could see his choices and the
hard work, ut unfortunately
he served up caricatures when
everyone else was offering the
real thing.
As glee club members, and
in a variety of small parts were
Richard Alan, Ben Hadad,
Mark Alan Jones and Mark
McGriff. Acapella singing in
four part harmony is a difficult
task. Alan and Hadad, baritone
and bass, were excellent.
The first tenor, McGriff, sang
flat throughout the performance.
Please fix it.
"The Trust" plays through
Sept. 7 at Main Street Theater,
located in the shadow of Rice
University on Times Boulevard,
a most fitting setting for
this well-crafted piece.

The recent announcement that AZT, along with other drugs, may be
able to delay the onset of AIDS seemed more a cause of rejoicing in
government circles than in the gay trenches. The war against AIDS
appears to be waged, on one hand, by the governmental, official
medical structure and, on the other, by the extensive volunteer
network created within the gay community.
To the first, AIDS "victims" seem impersonal, often only statistics.
Many times a distinction is still made between "innocent" victims of
AIDS and those from the high risk groups- homosexuals and drug
abusers. This first high command wants to aid its statistical war with
testing and reporting of the exposed. And they prefer to concentrate on
research and development combined with committees and
conferences. Oh, so big business like. These, in tum, give jobs to more
bureaucrats and high profits to drug companies.
On the other hand, the unofficial but extensive volunteer network,
while certainly interested in development of drugs, must deal, on a daily
basis, with maintaining the sick and comforting survivors. On this front
the news is hardly encouraging. The statistics say that in the next
fifteen months as many will die of AIDS as have been lost in the
previous nine years of the epidemic. And the wonders of AZT (the
owners of which saw their stock rise 32% with the most recent
announcement) are greeted with less enthusiasm in the gay
community. Rightly or wrongly, there remains considerable skepticism
as to its value.
But putting aside AZI's medical value, the question of its cost
immediately arises. The press began adding cost times infected ($8000
to $10,000 a year, 400,000 to 600,000 users) and came up with an annual
cost of $2-5 billion. And then asked, where's the money? Yes folks, this
is at a time when this nation is already numbed by a $165-285 billion bill
to save the S&Ls (businesses, not lives), billions to rescue HUD from
Republican "consultants" and billions more for a new bomber that is
both slow and hardly invisible.
What all this comes back to is that "government" at whatever level
still finds it distasteful to spend billions to help "high-risk groups" of
which they basically disapprove and whom they feel brought this on
themselves-the "guilty" victims of this epidemic.
The mainstream press reports in depth on every new drug therapy
and every new "official" committee or task force. But rarely is
attention given to the men and women in the trenches in this war
because the warriors are gay men and lesbians. Just this week in New
York, AIDS claimed the life of James Terrell- not a household name.
Terrell, 45, made his reputation in the 1970s as an innovative designer
of department stores. His reputation in the '80s is based on his
leadership of DIFFA, one of the major "unofficial" wagers of war on
AIDS.
Occasionally, in covering the war on AIDS, a press or TV report will
note in passing the work of some gay group but generally straight

WESTHEIMER
reporters shy away from this war zone. Now granted few if any fighting
on the front line are concerned with publicity, but due recognition
would be helpful if only to sustain the courage and morale of these
troops who grow weary in the'struggle.
Regrettably, we fear this lack of due recognition comes from a
straight society which next to its fear of AIDS fears that if it portrays
the heroic efforts of gay men and lesbians it would imply approval of
homosexuality. And that they cannot and will not do. Straights, or at
least the power structure, will do back flips before they would permit
any connection between fighting AIDS and gay rights.
This fear of legitimacy for gay rights explains the media's silence on
the March on Washington, on any but negative reporting on ACT UP or
other gay protests. Just as in the early years of the civil rights
movement the press could only view the struggle from without, so too
with our struggle- the press, in the name of objectivity, views us from
without, if at all.
Straight society, in general, discounts gay views on any gay subject
as being non-objective. We're bias and they are not. In this way they
can discount our literature, our businesses and-most important-our
humanity.
And, in the meantime, what are we doing? Usually fighting among
ourselves, unable to come to grips with our own diversity which should
be one of our ctrengths, not the source of our inaction.
The pool of talent, equally diverse, in our community-if hamessedcould
outflank the generalissimos of bureaucracy. We but need to come
together and create our own united agenda and press our rightful claim
of recognition-of our efforts and of our basic rights as citizens.

Gertrude
Chapter Two
"How was your brunch," asked the waiter at
Arriba Cantina, forcing a friendly tone into his voice.
"It was spicy and delicious and cooked to
perfection. I loathed it," replied the rather large old
lady, as she stabbed him in the leg with her fork.
Gertrude waived him away. She requested that he never
speak to her again. "Such a pretty boy, and so nice. I
hate him."
$1.00 well drinks and schnapps
$1.25 mimosas, poinsettias and
champagne
$. 75 tequila shots
$.99 margaritas during Happy
Hour from 4pm to 7pm
Bruncfi from llam to 4pm
She sipped from her mimosa. She made a
gagging noise. "This one's as tasty as the last one. I
can't stand it." She downed her $1.25 shot of peach
schnapps.
She ordered dessert by ripping out the section of
the menu that described Glacas Fritas, stuffing it in an
empty margarita mug, and hurling it at her waiter. A
few moments later, he delivered the dessert to her table
and scurried away.
"Oh look at this. Fried ice cream covered with
luscious honey and fudge. They even smothered it
with fluffy white whipped cream and put a cherry on
top. I despise it already."
She smashed the dessert with her fist and poured
salsa over the mess. It was at about this moment that
she first f~ the pain in her chest.

For the Montrose Voice
COPYRIGHT 1989
ARIES
The recent increase in physical activities have caused you to take a
careful look at your exercise regimen and diet. You're ready to
change what needs to be changed. And you thought your fine self
couldn't be improved on!
TAURUS
The earthiest of the earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) digs
in a bit deeper. If your partner is a fellow earth sign, buying proper·
ty, or building or renovating a home, at least in the planning stages,
is a distinct possibility.
GEMINI
Trust your intuition on the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth. The
chance that you've just got to take may not prove popular with an
employer or employee. But it's doubtful that anyone's input or advice
will stop you.
CANCER
Let's get practical about this confusion business. You're prepared to
use all of your talents, employ all of your resources, to clear up a
very important matter. Memory can be an especially valuable tool.
What did happen after all?
LEO
Isn't it romantic? The life of a
Leo, that is. Just when you
were lazing around, doing
nothing terribly important on a
hot summer day, things suddenly
got much hotter, and oh,
so cool at the same time. Interesting,
very interesting.
VIRGO
The light bulb above your head
is as bright as it can be. You've
got a great idea! After working
hard at organizing and figuring
things out, everything suddenly
becomes perfectly clear.
You may be wondering why
you didn't think of this before.
LIBRA
Simply being there for a friend
who needs you is, by far, the
best thing that you could be doing.
This is a serious matter
that requires your honesty,
your love, and perhaps the
needed relief of some humor.
SCORPIO
Dreams really do come true, don't they, Scorpio? A major part of
your life is working out in just the way you wanted it to. You're
amazed, delighted, proud, and full of good cheer. Share the joy.
SAGITTARIUS
The confrontation continues between you and one who has a far
more conservative approach t the situation. Being creatively diplomatic,
while retaining your honesty, provides you with an interesting
challenge.
CAPRICORN
The matter of an inheritance is uppermost in your mind. The details
of the matter could be quite complicated and therefore require
some professional or knowledgeable assistance. Seek good help.
Don't let things slide.
AQUARIUS
Deep and meaningful communication between you and the one
that you want to be communicating with increases greatly after the
twenty-sixth. Word of love and understanding are creating a powerful
bond between the two of you.
PISCES
You're approaching an interesting and important turning point in a
rabidly growing relationship. How to continue can best be answered
by both of you being as honest as you possibly can. A third,
well trusted voice could be helpful.

A Creed On What You Read
By AJIANllA B. llECONDWITH
The Montrose Voice
There are so many miaconceptions
generated. about thoee who write in
publlcationa, Dear :rans. Someone recently
cornered. WI at a fashionable
c:oc:ktail party and asked where we
came up with our ideas. Then, he
asked WI why we were so controveraial,
and where did we find our rapier
wit-as if we ha4 acceas to some hidden
charge card to Macy's Intellect Department.
wen, we had to set him
atraight, but it made WI think about
what others may wUh to ask.
J'irat Of all, Amanda ia notjust an ordinary
girL She ia a concoc:tion of our
tim.ea, and that makes her very
unique indeed. You wouldn't want her
to be like every other person on the
street who was born sometime betWHn
1988 and 1968-or earlier.
Heavens! That would be like havblg
Jerry Lewis act as art critic for the
l'lew York Times! Secondly; Amanda
does not state facts as facta, really.
They are compilations of information
given to her t:rom many sourcea, including
the D.8WB media, trienOa, and
ao:me political know-it-alls. Higherup
political contacta don't hurt, either,
you know. Baba Bush ia a good source,
u was l'lancy Reagan before our falling
out.
In other worda, Dear :rans, we have
to urge you not to take WI too seriously,
and never think that we are per-sonally
attacking you or your particular
institution. It ia not our intention
to mock or to insult anyone, although
