Edict Limits U.S. Speakers at Bangkok Conference

Edict Limits U.S. Speakers at Bangkok Conference: (Science -- Couzin 304 (5670): 499a)

"The decision to restrict the number of government travelers to 50 'was as a result of the treatment the Secretary received in Barcelona and HHS opinion that this meeting is of questionable scientific value.' During a talk in Barcelona, Thompson was heckled by hundreds of AIDS activists."

Which is more important, revenge for the Secretary's hurt feelings or a catastrophy killing people by the millions? Now we know!
