The article is bylined “Larry Kramer” and it’s filled with numbers and fear. Just the kind of things James collects. 1,112. The current number of AIDS cases. 418. The number of dead already this year. And it’s only March. 47.6. The percentage of infected cases who live in New York. 3 years. Life expectancy.
You can't write about the AIDS crisis and not include Larry Kramer's article from The New York Native. Almost forty years later, it still gives me chills and I'm very grateful to Larry for allowing me to include it. If you haven't read the entire thing, google it.
