- <p> The Secretary of Health and Human Services has been
- criticized for being an ineffectual spokesman at the White
- House. Now it appears that Louis Sullivan can't make his
- subordinates listen to him either. Angered by his treatment at
- the San Francisco AIDS conference--his speech was drowned out
- by ACT UP hecklers and he was pelted with condoms--he
- returned to Washington and issued an angry order that contacts
- with ACT UP should be limited to those that are "necessary and
- productive." Translation: none. But Sullivan's subordinate,
- Anthony Fauci, head of AIDS research at the National Institutes
- of Health, last week told a gathering of 1,000 researchers and
- activists at a conference in Bethesda, Md., that he still
- favors "the inclusion of AIDS constituency representation at
- every level." So much for Sullivan's ukase. Fauci can oppose
- his boss because somebody higher up likes him. George Bush
- called Fauci a hero during a presidential debate and has twice
- asked him to become director of the NIH.
