Frank Rich reviews HBO's "Angels in America," with a few remarks about CBS, "The Reagans", and the vociferous outcry of the Reagan supporters which caused that program to be pulled. I missed this the other day when it appeared in the paper; fortunately Jake at Political Aims did not. If you don't know the story the play tells, it's a depiction of how AIDS killed some 55,000 people during the 1980s, became the biggest public health catastrophe this country had faced in many years, and was virtually ignored by the Reagan Administration. Looks to be a show well worth watching, so check your local listings.

Roy Cohn was some character...
I am particularly interested in the AIDS/White House association because I helped start an AIDS clinic where I worked.
Only another women and myself would give the cocktails..no one wanted to go near the stuff thinking it was too potent and gene alterating...
We met some great people at the clinic...
I am *so* tuning in to Angels in America - I cannot WAIT!
