RE: History of X-Rays

["Weiner, Ruth" <rfweine@sandia.gov>]

The connection between AIDS and ionizing radiation is so far-fetched I can't
believe it!  There is a very good book that chronicles the early spread of
AIDS: AND THE BAND PLAYED ON by Randy Shilts.

Clearly only my own opinion

     I don't have the Nature reference, but there is an article in the on 
     line version of the NY Times in its Science and Health section.
     
     
     http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/
     
     There was also a story with interviews on the BBC today.
     
     Apparently, the first confirmed HIV infection occurred in the late 
     1950's or early 60's
     
     In Deadly Deceit, Sternglass and Gould reiterate the AIDS/radiation 
     link along with a host of other associations.
