	The History of HIV/AIDS

	Imagine a disease that was usually fatal and could spread each and every time two people have sex. Now imagine that that disease progressed so slowly that it took an average of ten years from the time of infection until the infected person's death, sometimes as much as twenty years. Let's also imagine that the disease was caused by a virus so small, a mere 130 millionth of a millimeter in diameter, that if it was magnified several times, it still could not be seen with the naked eye. And what if the disease affected mostly people in the prime of their lives, rather than at the end of their years? And what if the disease produced hideous symptoms like purplish blotches on the skin, extreme fatigue, and severe weight loss? And imagine that disease was new and spreading around the world at an alarming rate, infecting tens of millions of people.

	Al Capone

	Capone belongs to that handful of successful criminals who have enjoyed public admiration during their careers. Among that group, Al Capone as a master criminal stands second only to Jesse James. And just as Jesse James's popularity benefited from the Civil War tragedy, Capone's celebrity derives in large part from the war between the government and the people over Prohibition. It is hard to imagine now the fame and success Capone achieved. Estimates are that in 1927 when he was only 28 years old his organization took in some $105 million; he was able to demonstrate his power publicly by humiliating his handpicked mayor, Joseph Klenha, on the steps of the town hall in Cicero, Illinois--a small, outlying suburb of Chicago--while a police officer looked on. In 1930, journalism students at the Medill School in Chicago chose Capone as one of the ten most outstanding persons in the world, along with Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, and Henry Ford. Countless films, melodramas, and books have been written about Capone. He was among a handful of criminals who could use the media to entertain and mislead the public. He also knew that he symbolized the public's discontent with social and cultural policies (Prohibition) and economic trends (the 1929 Wall Street collapse) in the country.
