Harold Jaffe

had purposefully withheld information form his audience. Interestingly enough Tiemeyer did not cease with just stating the opposition. He also gave evidence from the same sources that people used to condemn Gaëton. For instance, Tiemeyer quoted Dr. Harold Jaffe, a man who had a major role to play in the fight against AIDS. He was also a prominent character in Shilts’s book, And the Band Played On. In the book Dr. Jaffe said “When asked about the Post headline, Dr. Harold Jaffe, a researcher at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) who worked with Gaëton when he volunteered for research studies there, called Shilts’s claim ‘preposterous’ Jaff explained, ‘It’s not a correct interpretation to say one person is responsible for introducing [AIDS] to North America,’” (139). This is significant because it gives a new light compared to what Randy Shilts showed in his book. It depicts Dr. Jaffe as seeing an epidemic caused by one man as an absurdity. My honest opinion of the matter, however, is that these were unique circumstances. It seems completely viable that a man who possessed such an unhealthy number of sexual partners could have entailed the AIDS epidemic just as people originally conceived. This also causes me to wonder if Dr. Jaffe said this before or after knowing the vast amount of cases that could be linked back to Gaëton Dugas. Although Tiemeyer is silent on this matter, he gives other evidence that is even more powerful than answering this trivial question. One of…

"Murphy where have you been going?" Murphy looks up at Finn and just shrugs. He figures he doesn't really owe an answer to anyone and especially not Finn. It's not like he's been doing anything wrong lately, if anything he's been looking for Akna these last few days and he hasn't seen a trace of her. He's stuck to his story that he's still trying to find scrap metal and maybe the occasional scavenge but he hasn't shared anything else. "You leave here everyday at the same time and hardly ever…

Aiming to publish in The International Communication GAZETTE, the crisis is rhetorically predicated upon questions such as “What has the communication discipline contributed to the social sciences?

On November 22nd , 2015 , I had attended a play “A servant of Two masters” that played downtown Pittsburgh at the O’Reilly theater, the play was directed by Ted Pappas. He had put together a creative and intriguing play, having actors stay spontaneous and interact with the audience, therefore no parts would be found boring nor dry. All the actors had held up their end of their roles quite well, by fully disguising themselves as that character they were suppose to be during the entire play. …

On the surface, The Homecoming and Mud are vastly different plays based their overall diverging themes. The Homecoming deals with power dynamics of family members, family values, and female control. Mud, on the other hand, focuses on the power dynamics between three individuals, the fear of loneliness, and escape from monotony. The endings of both plays contain different sensations, as one has a creepy ambiance, while the other leaves a depressing and tragic outlook on life. However, they both…

A Fading Friend but Not Forgotten When I was a kid, I was a social and outgoing kind of person. In Kindergarten, I met a friend named Jeremy. He was anti-social, awkward, and an all-around goofball. He always made me laugh though and from that point on, we became best friends. I remember as a kid, going to his house and playing Super Nintendo with him, eating with his family, sharing birthdays, and watching Power Rangers. Both of our fathers have disabilities. My father was hit by a drunk…

USA and Britain made light of the significance of it. As the USA was the world superpower, its political power was much stronger than that of Britain. This means that the USA has the upper hand in the contradiction of the objectives. Therefore, it is certain that the Suez Crisis can be regarded as an eye opener for the British government to the new position of Britain which cannot act against the USA. British financial and economic weakness should also be taken into consideration. The…
