Perhaps Magic Johnson will be joining the National Commission on AIDS. We would certainly recommend that he read their report. It serves as an indictment of President George Bush, Congress and the Centers for Disease Control.

For me, there is a bitter irony in the fact that the very issues this National Commission report raises are the same ones we are dealing with, and yet Magic Johnson's announcement about his HIV positive status gets volumes more attention than the report of federal government actions that affect HIV prevention.

Volunteer team members and team leaders need not have media experience— a willingness and desire to influence their local stations to air the PSA are all that is required. Distribution of the PSA will begin in March 1992, and may require a commitment of several weeks or even months in order to persuade some stations to air the spot.

Antone F. Feo, Ph.D. & Associates are offering two workshops. "Male Bonding," January 15, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., is designed to help men to begin to express their feelings in an open and hones manner. "Love and Relationships," February 12, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. is designed to help you learn to recognize love. It will explain relationships and help you make them work for you. For information on either of these two workshops call National
