Nntp-Posting-Host: squid.cs.ucla.edu Archive-Number: 3228 We seem to be wandering around a little randomly and plotlessly (kinda like a Madonna movie) with this Nitrous Oxide thing. I've gotten some E-Mail on it which I'll respond to as soon as I can do some fact-checking. In the meantime, I have an ethics question: The Kennedy guy has been ordered to undergo an HIV test at the behest of the alleged rape victim. I heard on the news that the Kennedy-guy's lawyers are asking for reciprocity (?) -- that is, that the victim undergo the same test to see if may have conracted HIV from his victim. This reminds me of the recent debate about the "just desserts" of the man who contravted the virus while gay bashing. I'm wondering what people' s sentiment on this is. By the way, I apologize for my tping. The Brown U. 2400 baud lines are down and the 1200 lines are too slow for my typing, it woru ld seem. Sincerely, Jack Rozel Students for AIDS awareness at Brown
