- Well, I just got through watching a well-done, informative story
- about ACT/UP (done by Ed Bradley) - WOW!! I was especially moved
- by the closing: he interviewed 3 PWAs, 2 male & 1 female, and asked
- the two men at the end if they expected to see a cure before they
- die. They both answered no. Not, I hope so, or maybe, or even
- not likely - just NO. The story showed the front-lines of CD -
- how it's not ACT/UP members that are rude, but rather the police
- and the government. It showed how ACT/UP has lowered the prices
- of drugs and sped FDA approval processes. I have _never_ seen
- such a positive portrayal of ACT/UP in the 'regular' media.
-
- If anyone knows the address and phone/fax no. to 60 minutes or CBS, PLEASE
- post it. They need to hear from us.
