It happened at the dinner table. Yung Kang Chow a medical student at Harvard University recalls that he was reviewing a Grant application during a meal in August 1991 when he said the idea just came to me in an  the idea was Chow s theory that a three drug combination might halt the spread of aids by attacking a single enzyme that the virus needs to reproduce. That concept is a break with medical Dogma about Multi drug therapy which involves aiming different drugs at different targets. This idea is very unconventional the native of Taiwan acknowledged. Novel though it May be the triple threat works at least in the lab. The Combina Tion of the aids drugs at and disco Xii Cosine or Del and a third compound called pyridine one stopped the aids virus from reproducing in a test tube according to a report published last week in the Jour Nal nature.

He has to Yung Kang Chow stands outside the lab where he works at Boston Massachusetts general Hospital. He is credited with theory that could Lead to treatment for aids. At least not yet. We have said repeatedly this is just lab oratory results Ana there is no evidence that it works in humans Chow said. We have so Many reservations about this even though it s promising. We Don t want to give people false  he is also afraid desperate patients will try to mix their own anti aids cock tails. Home experiments could prove toxic since researchers do not yet now How the combination affects humans. Chow credits Hirsch one of the nation s Foremost aids researchers with providing an environment conducive to groundbreaking research. It was while re viewing a Hirsch Grant application mentioning Multi drug therapy that Chow got his brainstorm and it was Hirsch who encouraged his offbeat  imagine Many advisers would have thrown me out of their office but he listened with an open mind and said it s a worthwhile hypothesis to test " Chow said of Hirsch.

The picture was set up under false pretences said Thomas Curley who declined to provide details on exactly How reporter Richard Price had been disciplined. That was  Price could not be reached for com ment. We took a significant disciplinary action. We feel that we did wrong and that there was an ethical lapse Curley added. Price set up a front Page picture published in wednesday s overseas editions of the newspaper that showed five angry looking Black men with guns for a Story about the potential for gang violence in los Angeles. Neither the Story nor caption informed readers that the men had been assembled by a Community activist or that they were to surrender their weapons under a jobs for guns program. Likewise neither mentioned that the men originally had shown up without guns and that Price had driven one of them to his Mother s House to get his Rifle so it could be displayed in the photo the Washington Post reported that Price had been suspended for a month and fined thousands of dollars. Curley said that the newspaper has offered the men in the photo the Chance to Tell their Side of the Story and that they Are considering it. Curley said Price s actions clearly Vio lated the newspaper s and general Indus try ethics standards that there shall Beno misrepresentation on grounds for photographs or news  the incident is thoroughly unfortunate especially Given the tense Environ ment in l of Angeles Curley said
