* 8 August - The persistence of a
serious disease whose victims are
primarily homosexual men has touched
off anxiety among homosexuals in New
York City, where nearly half of the
nation's cases have been reported. The
disease - called acquired immune
deficiency syndrome, or AIDS -
produces a suppression of the body's
natural defenses and sets the stage
for the intrusion of several deadly
afflictions, including a rare form of
cancer called Kaposi's sarcoma and a
rare pneumonia.
