A Review of AIDS: Law and Policy

AIDS & Public Policy Journal 2, no. 3 (Summer-Fall 1987): 45
Robert F. Hummel

This recent edition [1987] of Law, Medicine & Health Care, guest-edited by Larry Gostin and William J. Curran, offers a broad range of informed and well-written articles for anyone interested in some of the complex policy and legal issues surrounding AIDS. This is the second of a two-part symposium on AIDS, and the excellence that marked the first issue continues in this volume. The AIDS pandemic has spawned a literary epidemic of ill-informed opinions, political and financial opportunism, and some blatant stupidity. With some rare exceptions, original and disciplined thinking has been notably absent in the public policy arena.
