Compound Q Community
Based Study to Begin Soon
Project Inform ’s Delaney Speaks
to Hopkins AIDS Service Providers
Bush Signs Hate Crimes Bill Into Law
Historic Measure First Federal Gay-Inclusive Law
National Gay leaders and supporters gather around the historic Hate
Crimes document signed into law by a Republican President.
by Garey Lambert
Martin Delaney, executive director of
San Francisco’s Project Inform, told staff¬
ers and physicians in the Johns Hopkins
Hospital’s AIDS Service that community
based Phase
П
studies of Compound Q
have received FDA approval, and could
begin by late summer.
Delaney spoke at the regular Friday
lunch meeting of the staff of the Hopkins
ACTU, Moore Clinic, and Osier 8 AIDS
service providers. Dr. Richard Chaisson
who heads Inpatient AIDS services attend¬
ed among others.
Also attending the Friday meeting
were Dr. Carla Alexander and Elizabeth
Kaeton. Dr. Alexander is the Medical Di-
Ms. Kaeton is the clinic’s Executive Di¬
rector. Chase-Brcxton has expressed inter¬
est in participating in community based
studies of Compound Q. The clinic is now
a participant in the “expanded access”
community study of ddl.
“The FDA has approved an IND (Inves¬
tigational New Drug) for ‘Q’ and the drug
company, Sandoz, Ltd., has provided us
with a S250 thousand grant to get the study
underway,” Delaney announced. ‘The com¬
munity study will parallel the academic
studies, and will not compete with them.”
“Community based trials need not
compete with the more traditional ap¬
proaches,” Delaney added. “But, there are
questions about many of these drugs that
can be addressed in the community more
easily than they can in a university setting.
And, there is so much out there that the
ACTG (AIDS Clinical Trials Group) can’t
possibly study everything.”
“Just look at AZT. After four years of
dealing with AZT, after all of the studies,
we’ve done, and all the work that has been
expended on this drug, we still aren’t sure
what the correct dosage ought to be.”
Delaney also revealed that continued
study of Compound Q has produced re¬
sults that make the drug look even more
promising.

WASHINGTON— President George
Bush signed the Hate Crimes Statistics
Act April 23rd before a standing room
only crowd in the Old Executive Office
Building, marking the first time a gay in¬
clusive bill has ever been passed into law.
“One of the greatest obligations of this
Administration and of the Department of
Justice is the guarantee of civil rights for
all Americans,” stated Bush in his remarks
before signing the bill. “As I said in my
State of the Union address, every one of us
must confront racism, anti-Semitism, big¬
otry and hate, not next week, not tomor¬
row, but right now — every single one of
us. For hate crimes cannot be tolerated in a
free society.”
The bill, granted final congressional ap¬
proval in early April, orders the Department
of Justice to collect and publish statistics on
crimes motivated by bias based on race, re¬
ligion, sexual orientation or ethnicity.
“This is historic,” remarked National
Gay and Lesbian Task Force lobbyist Peri
Jude Radecic. “I think that word is going
to be overused today. But, it’s landmark;
it’s historic. I don’t know how else to ex¬
press the feeling of being at the White

Funeral Homes Deny Proper Burial In AIDS Cases
Violations of 1989 State Law Common
у
by David Gary and Heidi Hoffman
“I want to be laid out and buried in
my tux,” Joseph Horan told his friends,
“Everybody looks good in a tux.” Those
were Joseph’s last wishes to Michael,
Carol, and Janis, in the last weeks of
his life. These were the friends Joseph
entrusted to make his final
arrangements.
But, like many who die of AIDS, his
wishes were not fulfilled.
See FUNERAL HOME, page 2
“ That’s when the
yelling started.
First they weren’t
going to clean him ,
then they couldn’t
dress him. I
screamed , ‘I’ll clean
him and dress
him myself. ’ ”
