Ridding Us of GRID
Ronald Reagan was a million times more effective at spreading HIV than all the bathhouses in the world. But thank god the Centers for Disease Control under his administration at least had the sense to change the name of the disease to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome from Gay-Related Immune Deficiency 35 years ago this week. As much as I appreciate a properly used hyphen, can you imagine where we'd be today if that had stuck? (And what ever happened to ARC?)
