At Christmas the big stores were without window dressers, as the community of that artistic group, died off and replacements couldn't be found. In that same winter, the mayor proclaimed that he wasn't going to allow the homeless in Manhatten to suffer,and they were rounded up and dozens were brought into Bleekman hospital (close to Wall St.) . I was there in the hospital for heart failure, and I'll *never* forget a young guy
there fighting off several orderlies in the hall,(his weapon was a sharp pencil), screaming he would stab anyone who tied to give him a shot! He was restled down , got the shot and a room he didn't want. I was aware of the Aids thing because of the stories of the window dressers, but I was really surprised that every janitor, nurse, orderly, Doctor and student (Bleekman is/was a teaching hospital), would never touch a door, fountain, or anything else without rubber gloves, and I mean they wouldn'tgo through a door if they didn't have gloves!

did you hear the one Ed said, something like, they voted me out and now they're stuck without me? Ed says it so much better.
