Second AIDS virus found U.S. blood supplies secure
Nation/World
The Associated Press
NEWARK, N.J. — Public health officials moved yesterday to ally fear that a New Jersey hospital's diagnosis of a second AIDS virus in the United States could lead to a new epidemic of the deadly disease.
Blood supplies are safe and there is no evidence that the virus, HIV-2, has spread beyond the West African woman diagnosed with the disease at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, officials said.
Dr. Gary Noble, who is deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta and who is in charge of the case, said the diagnosis of the woman, who
he identified as a native of the West African nation of Cape Verde, was the first confirmed case of HIV-2 in the United States. She was diagnosed in December, he said.
"There is no immediate peril to the blood banks in the United States," said Dr. Stanley H. Weiss, a former investigator for the National Cancer Institute and now a professor of preventive medicine and community health at the university.
The virus, discovered $2\frac{1}{2}$ years ago in West Africa and later found in Europe, is known as human immunodeficiency virus, type 2, or HIV-2 for short. That distinguishes it from the original AIDS virus, HIV-1.

Gunfire ends polygamist standoff
MARION, Utah — A quick burst of gunfire yesterday ended a tense, 13-day standoff between a polygamist clan and police, killing an officer and seriously wounding the group's ringleader, who was suspected of bombing a Mormon chapel.

The shooting erupted just after dawn when police who had secretly infiltrated the clan's compound used a trained dog to try to isolate Addam Swapp and his brother from the log

However, the shots ended moments later and the clan's four other adults and nine children filed from the house in two groups with their arms raised above their heads.

Nielsen said the decision to seize Swapp, 27, on federal warrants was made after a family friend delivered to police Wednesday afternoon Swapp's response to a letter from Gov. Norm Bangerter pleading with him to surrender.

Fighting sagging poll numbers, Hart raised the pitch of his criticism of fellow Democrats in an Iowa speech in which he said they avoided specifics by repeating only vague phrases, chanting "Massachusetts miracle" and "presidential leadership" like mantra.
