"AIDS Activist Enters D.C. Mayor's Race"
Washington Post (06/08/94) P. D7;  Henderson, Nell
     Luke Sissyfag, a Washington, D.C., AIDS activist known for his
consistent public heckling of President Clinton, announced
yesterday that he will run as a political independent for mayor
of the nation's capital.  Sissyfag, who has criticized Clinton,
D.C. Mayor Sharon Pratt Kelly, and the federal government for not
doing enough to prevent the spread of AIDS and find a cure for
the disease, says his goal is to force the other candidates and
the voters to focus attention on the epidemic.  Kelly, he
asserts, has failed in her condom distribution programs for high
schools and prisons, as well as in her needle exchange program.
