The Secret Epidemic

As I type this, I'm listening to Leonard Lopate talk to Jacob Levenson about his new book outlining the AIDS crisis in African-American communities. Levenson's also been giving interviews to newspapers on the east and west coasts. A bit of searching also turned up a book review he wrote for Mother Jones of another AIDS book. ("Showdown in Choctaw County," an article about an Alabaman social worker's daily struggles, forms part of the book's narrative, but it's also available if you're willing to pay Utne for online access or The Oxford American for the back issue.)
