There is only one doctor for every 1050. Put another way, there are almost 40 times as many soldiers in this world as doctors. Item: Last week, during a routine training exercise two F-16 fighters collided in mid-air. In addition to the loss of two pilots, both planes were destroyed. The replacement cost of those two planes was equal to the entire 1985 budget for AIDS research (approximately $140,000,000). -- Craig Werner !philabs!aecom!werner "The end. 94. 95.
