5 February 1985.

	According to Friday's (2/1) USA Today, Bruce Voeller,
a biologist and president of the Mariposa Foundation, announced
results of a four-year study which showed that nonoxynol-9 may
prove useful in preventing transmission of the AIDS virus.
This study was done in collaboration with the Centers for Disease
Control in Atlanta.  Voeller advocates that people use
over-the-counter spermicides that contain at least 5% nonoxynol-9
as sexual lubricants to lower their risk of contracting AIDS.

	[ It sounds like a WONDERFUL idea.  But I wonder what
Cheseborough-Ponds will have to say about this. -- mlrs ]
