Bradley's campaign gets personal
The Associated Press
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Al Gore and fellow Democrats jumped into bed with special interests during the 1996 fund-raising scandal, rival candidate Bill Bradley said yesterday, as he struggled with questions about his own health two days before New Hampshire's primary.
Sen. John McCain said there's only one man who was fully prepared to be commander-in-chief, suggesting himself rather than Republican rival George W. Bush.
With polls showing that his once-commanding lead has narrowed, Vice President Gore struggled to deal with his rival's sudden willingness to question his integrity. Gore's team released a statement from Democratic congressional leaders asking Bradley to abandon negative personal attacks.
Bush, the two-term Texas governor and national GOP front-runner, said his executive office experience would make for a better president. "I'm not of the Washington scene. I'm not a committee chairman," Bush said, digging at Senate Commerce Committee chairman McCain.
"I'm the guy who can beat Al Gore,"
McCain replied, as both rivals appealed to GOP voters eager to reclaim the White House. McCain holds a slight edge or is tied with Bush in polls here, after leading the Texan for eight weeks. Gore's lead against Bradley is slightly wider.
Running a distant third in Republican polling here, millionaire publisher Steve Forbes kept his eye on Bush. After the Texan told "Fox News Sunday" that he would cut taxes in the first term, Forbes questioned Bush's commitment to the issue.
Alan Keyes, the conservative firebrand, picked up the endorsement of David Skippers, the
chief GOP investigator in President Clinton's impeachment trial. He said the race between Bradley and Gore was a choice between the devil or Beebelzub.
Bradley, a former basketball star, has been slow to reveal details about his

irregular heartbeat condition and acknowledged yesterday that he had briefly undergone anesthesia three times for treatment since December 1996.
At a rally午后, Bradley waved a recent article about Gore's 1996 fund-raising trip to a Buddhist Temple near Los Angeles and demanded an explanation. He said the fund-raising scandal was a disgrace to both parties, particularly Democrats.
"When we all get into bed with the special interests, I think that makes a more serious problem for us than for Republicans." Bradley said.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Roman Catholic priests in the United States are dying from AIDS-related illnesses at a rate four times higher than the general population, and the cause is often concealed on their death certificates, the Kansas City Star reported yesterday.
AIDS virus plagues priesthood
The Associated Press
In the first of a three-part series, the newspaper said death certificates and interviews with experts indicated several hundred priests had died of AIDS-related illnesses since the mid-1800s and hundreds more were living with HIV, the virus that causes the disease.
"Gay priests and heterosexual priests didn't know how to handle their sexuality, their sexual drive," said Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of the Archdiocese of Detroit. "And so they would handle it in ways that were not healthy."
The Star received 801 responses to questionnaires that were sent last fall to 3,000 of the 46,000 priests in the United States.
Six of 10 priests responding said they knew of at least one priest who had died of an AIDS-related illness, and one-third knew
a priest living with AIDS. Three-fourths said the church needed to provide more education to seminarians on sexual issues.
The Rev. John Keenan, who runs Trinity House, an outpatient clinic in Chicago for priests, said he thought most priests with AIDS contracted the disease through same-sex relations. He said he treated one priest who had infected eight other priests.
The Star said precise numbers of priests who had died of AIDS or become infected with HIV is unknown, partly because many suffer in solitude.
The Star cited the case of Bishop Emerson Moore, who left the Archdiocese of New York in 1995 and went to Minnesota, where he died in a hospice because of an AIDS-related illness. His death certificate attributed the death to "unknown natural causes" and listed his occupation as "laborer."
After an AIDS activist filed a complaint, officials changed the cause of death to "HIV-related illness," the *Star* said, but the occupation was not correct.
Bishop Raymond Boland of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph said the AIDS deaths showed that priests were human.
