Date: Thu, 23 Feb 1995 16:16:50 -0800 From: "Todd Ruston" In the next issue of The Advocate: Issue 669, cover date November 29, on sale November 15 * * * C O V E R S T O R Y * * * SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY The life and death of Duane Rath He was a gay man who had it all: money, power, influence, a friendship with Elizabeth Taylor, and ties to England's royal family. He gave millions to gay organizations and even put the children of his company's employees through college. But a tempestuous love triangle changed everything. POLITICS -------- RENO SAYS NO WAY Despite denials from U.S. attorney general Janet Reno, a former police chief's outspoken support for gay rights may have cost him a job at the Justice Department as head of a federal community-policing program. AIDS ---- CODE BLUE FOR WARD 5A Almost since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, San Francisco General Hospital's AIDS ward has been considered the nation's premier AIDS-treatment unit. But the new economics of health care may mean those days are over. DANCE ----- A TURNING POINT >From ballet superstar Robert LaFosse to modern dancer-choreographer Amy Pivar, gay and lesbian artists in today's dance world are taking the lead, creating bold new works that bring their artistry to bear on social issues and the fight against AIDS. RELIGION -------- QUEEN TO BISHOP Gay rights advocates in Britain disrupt the enthronement of the new bishop of Durham, who condemns practicing homosexual clergymen despite his own conviction for a sex offense with another man. ACTIVISM -------- GIVE ME LIBERTY AND GIVE ME DEATH AIDS activists are among those who would challenge state bans on physician-assisted suicide in two key federal court cases in the states of Washington and New York. CRIME ----- WILLING VICTIMS When the home of two gay men and a lesbian was vandalized in Tacoma, Wash., authorities called it a vicious hate crime. Now it appears the damage was self-inflicted. BOOKS ----- CLUED IN Lesbian mystery writer Mabel Maney updates those campy old books of our youth with hilariously hip tales of lesbian sleuth Nancy Clue and dyke nurse Cherry Aimless.
