Friends of Rock Hudson, stricken with liver cancer and reportedly suffering
from AIDS, have banded together to fight the dreaded disease by forming
"Actors for AIDS".  A spokesperson for the new group said that "Actors for
AIDS" will stage benefits to raise money to help fund AIDS research.

A friend of Mr. Hudson said, "Rock will be pleased.  It's a shame that
his benevolence--one of his favorite activities was donating blood
to the Haitians-in-Hollywood Hemophilia Society--led to this illness."

In a related development, the Center for Disease Control announced it
would help "Actors for AIDS" by officially changing the name "AIDS"
to "Rock Hudson's Disease."  A spokesperson in Atlanta said,
"Why not?  It worked for Lou Gerhig's Disease, didn't it?"

Doris Day was unavailable for comment.
