CUTTING THROUGH
THE HAZE,

In issue 76 [Dec. 12] you
printed a ·Ietter from Mayor
Dinkins reciting 12 "programs"
he purportedly has taken toaddress the epidemic of antigay,and anti-lesbian viol~nce.
The letter is pure propaganda
unsupported by the facts.'"
1. Jimmy Zappalortl. The
mayor refused to attend
Jimmy's funeral, saying hewasn't "Invited," He resisted
visiting the family until Intensepressure was brought to bearon his office and a huge ACT
UP demo took place in front ofStaten Island Borough Hall.
He delayed posting a reward
for three weeks so he could
mak-eit a political present at~is first post-election visit to
the Community Center. (It wasa I~t cheaper than bringing usa renegotiated mortgage for
the Centerl),
2. Leadership. The mayor
has never focused one speechor media appearande on antlgay crime, (Given the epidemic this year, including us in thestandard "laundry list" ofminorities doesn't cut it).
When he gave his major crime. speech at St. Patrick's, he did,not us.e the words "gay" or,"lesbian" and pointedly omitted any reference to the hatecrimes bill stalled in Albany. '3. Unity campaigns. The
city has, in fact, endorsed thefollowing "unity" campaigns
which do not Include any reference to the gay and lesbiancommunity;. Fox 5's Stand Up
for Racial Harmony, WNBC's

Float entered into seven major
parades and heartily endorsedon the steps of City Hall.

complained. Let's rememberthat the St. John's address
was prompted by fear of race
riots over the Bensonhurst
verdicts. Clearly, the threat ofriot gets the mayor's attention,,not hundreds of lesbians andgay men being assaulted In

beYond a shadow of ,a doubt that th~ isan enormous reluctance to declare aaime bias-motlvated,"
While the recent indictments ofthree men appeased activists critical of
the pace of the investigation, many continued to be angered by the cops' silence
on deteiniining bias as motivatiQn. _On Nov.
29, AVP's For,eman, Ed ,,Sederbaum of the Julio Rivera Gay andLesbianAnti-VlOlence Coalition and Alan,
Sack, Rivera's former lover, met with
Queens County DAJohn Santucci, Robert
Alexander, the Queens DA's homicidebureau chief, and other QueenS County
criminal justice staff.- Sederbaum told
~Weekthat the group was shown deare;vidence of bias motivation.
. A demonstration planped by Queer~ation to pressure the pol~e into making
a determination in the case has been put 'on hold, pending the bias review panel's. decision.

Rivera, who had been staJ;>bed
repeatedly and beaten with the daw endof a hanuner, was murdered early on July
2 in Vaseline Alley, a CIl!ising area popular with gay men looking for sex. Three'

Indaunted by a freezing
downpour,more than 500 AIDS activists
from all over the country stormed theCenters for Disease
Control here last,
, week in an escalation of their , effort to, lobby for a change in the federal epidemiological agency's
definition c:i AJI:?S.

concerns

•,highlight a series of issues that primarily
affect poor Black and Latina women. '"For the first time, I saw a true coaltion of people from really diverse backgrounds," commented Juan Mendez, amember of ACT UP who participated in, : the 'action, '"I think it represents an
expansion of the ways in which ACf UP
and AIDS activism as a whole have to go.
Treatment and access still have to befought for, but after ten years, we have to
rea1ize that there are other failures in the
structure of.health care in this country."
Indeed, aganizers of the action con. tinually cited the large number ofwomen, many of them IDV--pmitive,who
traveled to Atlanta from all over the coun, try, an example of the action's success.
One participant estimated that the majority of the more than 500 people taking
part in the action were women and notedthat women ,representing AIDS-educationthat 'focus on reaching poor
women ·and people of color also participated in the protest.',
Altogether, 92 people were arrested
on charges of criminal trespass, andwhile three demonstrators were initiallycharged with destruction of govemmen-'taL property, those charges were ultimately dropped,
In addition to the demonstration
outside the main buUdingof the CDC, •approxlmately 50 activists took over theoffices of Gary Noble, deputy director of
mv for the CDC. Noble, activists said,
had been one of the top CDC officials
present at the November meeting withwomen from ACf UP, and he was targeted for his failure, 'as a key figure in thehierarchy of officials with the power torevise the AIDS definition, to respond toactivist demands.
Activists contacted for comment on
the success of the action, however,returned mixed reviews.
"Strategically, if there is any skinnish
in this big battle that we have the possiblity of winning in the near future, it's thisone with the CDC," pointed out Heidi
Dorow, a member of ACf UP/NY whocame to Atlanta for the action, "I thinkthat we have successfully mounteCi acampaign in the past year, and they'refe,elingthe heat.".
"I don't feel hopeful," disagreed
Morgan. "They felt the heat, but, youknow what? They went home and had adrink and got over it."~-:lfledfrom New YorkREAL ESTA TE, INC.

tend to be "mean-spirited." "Thelegal response to these cases is c0mpletely mlsgµided," he continued.
"It's framing the legal issue aroundan intent to transmit. But everybody
knows that if you want to transmit
AIDS, spitting and biting are pretty
unlikely ways to do it. People just
don't get the disease that way.""We do not have one documented case of AIDS transmitted
through biting or spitting," Said Tom
Skinner, a spokesperson for the US
Centers for Disease Control in
Atlanta. "While there is evidence of
HIV in some saliva, there is no indication that AIDS is transmitted
through saliva," Tongue firmly incheek, he called biting and spitting"the least likely mode of transmission
other than toilet seats."

Sut the Smith case, while the mostwidely publicized, is not the only one,
Bill Rubenstein, director of the AIDS
Project in the national office of theAmerican Civil Liberties Union, has been
documenting cases nationally. Current
cases similar to Smith's are being, or haverecently been, litigated in New Jersey,
New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas,, Minnesota, Alabama and Idaho, And,
Rubenstein notes, the trend is vety muchon the upswing,.
', According to Lambda Legal Defense
director Tom Stoddard, there are two significant areas of litigation. One kind iswhat Stoddard and Rubenstein call "spit,ting-and-biting" cases, and the others
involve consensual sexual partners suingafter knowledge of one's HIV status
becomes known,"We've studied the aiminiilization ofthese cases," said Rubenstein, "and separated them into these two groups. The
first group the spitting-and-bitingcases all allege that a· person who' is
HIV-positive or who has AIDS has knowingly and deliberately tried'to transmit thedisease through either spitting on or biting the victim, These cases tend to bebrought by law enforcement official,s-s
police, prison guards--and they are adirect result of AIDS hysteria among
those workers. "Rubenstein also said that the cases•in his mouth, and bit~ through the skindrawing blood, so that there is actual
mixing of blood, there could be transmlssion," a spokesperson told OutWeek but
cautioned, "This is such a remote possi~
bility that there are nocases,
ofil"
Stoddard noted that. the focus on thebiting and spitting issue "reflects ~ levelof hysteria about AIDS that is rampant in
the country right now." He also said that
it is a focus that stems directly &om racial,
gay and AIDS prejudices, because its targets are almost all inmates, Black or
Latino, or gay. Added Rubenstein, "Let'slook at who is being prosecuted, These
cases are about ,punishing someone
already in apo5ition." 'The Smith case argues for that theory. Even eyewitnesses testifying at theSmith trial :were unable to state that Smith
had actuaIiy drawn blood from the Victim
in the biting incident, or that he ha.dmade statements about killing the Victim,_ ••on .._ ••MUIID.II

, WASIDNGTON-Ptesideni Bush ..onNov. 29 signed into law a broad-based
immigration refol1Il bill which includes aprovision striking the United States' longstanding ban on gay immigrants and visitors and effectively' ending ,a 3,-year-old 'prohibition against entry by foreigners, with AIDS and HIV infectiOn,"I am pleased to note that this ,act
facilitates immigration not only in numerical tenns but also in tenns of basic rightsof those beyond our borders," said Bushat'the White House ceremony. "['Ihis bill]revises the politically related 'exclusion
grounds' for the first time since their~nactment in 1952, Iift[ing] unnecessary
restrictions on those who may enter theUnited States."
The gay -ban dates back to a
McCarthy Era immigration 'law, which,along with "sexual devial1ts," banned
inlmigfcltiOJ?by Communists, the mentallydisabled and otbers who held beliefs, deemed unacceptable , to the government"It's a sign of progress that we got 'the anti-gay and the anti-HN pieces [ofthe old law] repealed with so little overt
controversy," said Democrat Rep. Barney
Frank of Massachusetts, whQ sponsored
the amendment lifting the gay ban andshepherded it through the legislative process. "The haters that wanted to keep
those things on the hooks understood, that we just had, them outgunned on this~e."
, ,The bill also effectively lifts the fed,~l ban on immigration by people with,.AID& and HIV infection by ordering
Health and Human Services Secretary, Louis Sullivan to throw out the existing. list, of "dangerous contagious diseases"
for which one may be denied entry andreplace it with a list of diseases of "publichealth significance" crafted by public\,

The agent, not a vaccine but an

Salk's immunogen was developed for those who are already HIVinfected,i. these ,trials are using thosewith HIV-infection who have no
symptoms of dlsease.

The immunogen works on thepririciple of stasis: Inoculations containing kllled HIY should immunize
the immune system against 'further
ravages from the virus, (A vaccine, on
the other 'hand, induces the immune
system to develop antibodies against
viruses.) Since lilY-related deaths are

The vai::CIne,Immuno-Ag,. will Initially be evaluated for safety and immunogenlclty atfive sites nationally. The st~dy centers, part of the National hlstitute of Allergy and, Infectious Diseases' AIDS Vaccine Evaluation Units, are recruiting healthy men andwomen aged 18 to 60 with no HIV infection as volunteers.' ,,Immuno-Ag was developed at the National InStitutes of Health, with 'animal studies

from the study will be the most importwltto date on the development of thetreatment, accordins to Dr. John '1\Jmer,a prominent AIDS physidan here who
Is condacting the tria1s at the Graduate
Hospltal. "This is the flrst vaccine therapy that has even been suggested forpeople who are already seropositive,"
Turner has said. "1he reason for that Is
that Salk Is such a humanitarian in his
approach. Instead of thinking about'the innocent potential victims of thedisease,' he's concemed about the pe<>pIe who are already infected, He has
said repeatedly that the flrst obligation
is tp the 10 miIIlon to 20 miIIlon people
already infected. It's an ~nUrely new.
and novel approach."
Both Turner and his colleague,
Dr, Gary Cohan, ar~ openly gay.
Turner preViously headed clinical trials for the embattled experimental
AIDS drug, Imreg-l.
,

,

Salk Is a controversial figure, His
latest treatment theories, from the useof vitamiri C for the common cold tothe immunogen, have received mixed
reViews. Medical researchers say that
immunogen looks good, but they're,
waiting for definitive data. And theimmunogenhas comp~tition:A
number of AIDS vaccines are being
developed by both the government
and private Industry. Research and development on the immunogen Is centered at California-based
ImmuneResponse Corporation. The Vtliage
Voice recently reported that ColgatePalmolive and Rorer have Invested In
the company. funding for the studies Is"
being provided by twO phannaceuticalcompanies that do not want to be iden,tlfled, Thrner
said.
,
Clinical trials with the immunogenare. also being done at seven other testsites nationally. These studies are technically phase-one trials, which test dose- ranges and toxicity, Efficacy will also
be evaluated, although this data Is usually collected during phase-two trials,
Before human trials, the immunogen
was tested on rabbits and chimpanzees
and has gone through Initial toxicity
testing in humans, 1\uner explained that
toxicity values were determined in a'previous study begun In late November
Using 60 subjects, Thooe 60 subjects will
be joined by ten others In this current ,, phase. The seven other sites have ten
subjects each. "These trials are in
between the two phases," Thmer said
Further, these trials are doubleblind, meaning that 'neither Thrner nor
the subjects will know who Is getting
the immunogen and who Is getting aplacebo. Turner said that if theNovember trial, which Is a dose-range
study, and the most recent eight-sitetrial beginning on Dec. 10 show notable
improvement In swrogate markers, thenthe studies will be unblinded and treatment extended,
The study is set to run frombetween nine months to a year, but
ThrneI' and colleagues will begin anaI
lyzing data as early as February. If
results .meet expectations, phase-two
trials would begin in fall 199~ and thetreatment could be In use by the following year, Turner said, Initial tests
have shown no toxicity, except for theusual sore arm that comes with most
Inoculations,'"

delivery" by an agent with a 'search warrant for the recill'ieot's home. This hap{>Cned to Jacobson, as well as to Jim
Mitchell, a Califomlan whose r'es{)OnSe to
the questionnaire led to his arrest for purchasing a magazine with Il'ictures of,young girls in sexually provocative poses.
, You have to read these court opinions to gei'the full flavor of the lengths ,towhich theI Postal
Service will go to'"hook" a JX)tential victim and lure him
into ordering obscene materials~ The
Mtlcbell opinion has a desai¢on d thequestionnaire, and one of the dissents in
Jacobson giveS
a detalled history of the-.uensuing ~dence,
At the scale ofoll'erations described in- the opinions,
there muSt be dozens of federiU agentswor~ QQ' this ,program full-time, sending out thousands of Il'ieces of maU,
encoding, the I'eS{}OIlSes to the questionnaires, following up individually and set-'ting up the controlled deliveries andsearches., ~e o{>Cration ,must run ,into
six, maybe even seven, figures.
According,to the opinions, the oPeration has result~' in about 200 arrests of 'men who were led through this wholeoperation finally to place an order for amagazine, film or Il'hotoset involving the 'sexual depiction of children.
,
What is even more outrageous is thatboth of the court opinions uphold criminal convictions of the men caught up in
this sting. Iil Mttcbell, a unanimous threejudge panel of the 9th Circuit, while fincJ:.
ing some of the government's tactics
offensi~e, cOncluded they were not outrageous enough to be unconstitutional. In
Jaccbson, a three-judge panel of the 8th
Circuit voted in January to reverse theconviction, but the ever-vigilant postal
inspectors petitioned for review by all thejudges of the circuit, which was granted
and resulted in an 8-2 vote for conviction.
In both cases, the defendants argued
that the government had set ull' anelaborate scheme to entice them into
breaking the law, violating their constitu,,

tional rights. In both cases, the courts
accepted the government's argument that
because these men were already on porndealers' mailing lists, and each had previously ordered at least one item, they
were ".
" to commit the crimeof purchasing obscene materials. In thelaw governing entrapment, the defense is
no good if thereis evidence that the,defendant was predisposed to commit
the ciime. A defendant can' only get off
if he or she can show that he Qr she
was persuaded by government ,agents,to, colnmit crimes he or she' would not

f dissents from Chief Judge Donald Lay:<. and Seni~Circuit Judge Gerald Heaneyof the 8th Circuit, Both argued that
Jacobson was a totally inoffensive fellow, a 57-year-old fanner, a 20-year
Navy veteran, a retired school bus driverabout whom nobody could say a badword Jacobson's prior mail orders were
for non-obscenenude

reprehensible. The government invested~derabletime and ~ney to pr0secute a man who never would have•committed a crime but for the government's encouragement""" " Heaney's dissent was even stronger.
After asserting that targeting Jacobson
violated the Postal Servic¢'s official
guidelines for running the sting since hisname appeared on only one list, Heaney••
stated that "the conduct of the Postal Ser'1ce was outrageous ...because the Service made at least ten mailings to Jacobson over a petiod of 1:1 mOnths, January
1985 to May 1987, before be succumbed

fa1lIling his land and minding his own
business. Now he stands disgraced in his
home and his community with no visible, ._gain to the Postal Service in the imporII:tant fight against the sexual exploitationof children,"
Heaney was particularly outraged atthe "time, effort, expense and ingenuity••

, f the myriad organizations in the gay and lesbian community,
one has a membership that easily runs into the tens of thousands, In 17 countries, including the United States, there arelocit chapters of this group, numbered in the hundreds, making it by far the larQest. In Puerto Rico, the District ofColumbia and 46 states, the gay and lesbian membership meeton a OOilybasis, In some large cities and many small towns,
the focal cltizetuy might even be dismayed to learn that these,lesbians aQd gay men are gathering in the basements ofchurches where traditional famlly values are praised on SunOOymornings, but they need not worry, This is not some vast 'and secret army plotting revolution. Individual members may
take to the streets under the flag of some other organization,•
but the entire church basement cadre will never rise up. As agroup, they spurn power,they reject anger, they keep themselves
impoverished and they have never taken a stand on any.
,, ISSue.','
Like the organization, to which they belong, these lesbians and gay men remain, by .
/. choice, largely unorganJzed, They have been meeting for decades to do one thing, and one
thing only: help drunks get and stay sober. These are the lesbiin and gay 'members of Aka,
holics Anonymous. Though they have embraced, and celebrate, their gay,and lesbian identi, /ties, their way of life is in some ,ways most expressive of the values of the fellowship of
Alc9hOlicsAnonymous, which many credit with having saved their lives.

think that's the only question we have any rightto ask." (Ultimately, the 'AA groups would adopt
the Twelve Traditions as their only, bylaws in1950).
'•The gay man with 45 years would go on towrite extensively for AA, authoring Living SobBr,, a guide' for AA members

Another early AA meinber, a lesbian activein the fellowship from 1939 until her death in1980, also made significant contributions to the
AA program.· Her story, ,lfomeri'roo, waspublished in the ori~inal Big Book,ftlough itdoes not mention that she is a lesbian. Her story"
does
make a reference to an encounter with a\Y0maI.l named "q,or!'tJly~" and she speakS of
being taught "to ,be gay with, the gayest."' The
lesbian was dne of six early members who ere'at~ the AA Gmpevfne, the 'monthly newsletterof the fellowship, ,that has been publishing the,stories, views and opini~ns of AA members
since 1945. The (Jrapevlne
has become a forum,
for AA members, and as Bill "fl. says in thebook, AA Comes of 4ge, "The GrapetJlne is themirror of AA thought and action, worldwide."'Just as individual AA members ,have aided the fellowship, ,the gay~d lesbian groups have served to "expand the definition of what ,an
Aft,. ,group is.'Speaking of the .'405'"
and, '50s, a time, when few of us 'were out, the 45~year veteran says:"We weren't in closets, We were
locked in vaults." A lesbian who
has been an active member of AA
since 1960 describeS'her ~rly daysin the ,fellowship: "'We were all in
the closet. I was so iri the closet I
didn't recognize my l;>roth~rs andsisters." Until the mid-'70s there
were no gay and lesbian spe,cial,interest groups listed.lD Ali. directa-' ,ries that could ~ readily identified
by a gay newcomer to the fellowship. Certainly there were groups
that, were predominantly, if not exclUSively,peopled by,les- ..

'Iearning the name of that meeting, the AA member told thelesbiap, "Honey, you:re going to ,the only straight meetingin the Village," According' to the lesbian, who joined in

in the Village was "booming." The same is probably true of

gay and lesbian m~mbers of AA now in its 11th year, lists,
workshops titled Dealing With Racism and Preju(!tce in-M, Minorities in Recovery and Homophobia, It is reason-,able to assume that many gay and lesbian fellowship mem- ,bel's belong to' other' organizatioris where these issues aredebated. But AA groups shun conflict, and they avoid all of
its trappings: money, power and prestige, In the 18 years
since the first gay group organized in New York City, it
appears that only one gay special-~nterest group has "ealtwith a conflict serious enough to divide it. The 'delegate to
the General Service Conference who represents Southeastern New York, an openly gay 'man with 20 years of soWrtime, states, "In AA there are no political fights if you see

political fights as hinging on power," .
, The ,Twelve Traditions of AA, the closest thing thegroups have to governance, work to suppress dissent andstress' a focus on AA's prim~ry purpose carrying the AA
message to active drunks. Tradition OQe states" "Our comlIlon welfare should come first: Personal recovery depends.on AA unity." AA members recognize their disease as serious,"It Is a life-and-deathmatter," says the gay delegate. They,
place themselves In the pOSition of believing, rightly or
wrongly, that thek lives depend on their continued participation in the fellowship. There Is, however, no sense among
the gay and lesbian membership that they have been coercedor forced into the program by any, entity other than alcohol
itself. ~~mbers tell of arriving on their knees, In the AA
lingo, they have "hit bottom." The explanatory text of Tradition One states, "The AA member has to confonn to the principles 'of recovery ...if he [or she] deviates too far...he [or she]sickens and dies." The meqlbers confonn, willingly driven by
their pre-fellowship experience, which, for many, was horrific, Gay and; lesl?ian AAs relate stories of years of drinking,':with its accompanying blackouts; hangovers, Isolation arid
physical illness.
"a "safe haven, a place - toachieve." Newcomers may getlavish 'attention from other AAs
seeking to help them get sober,
Opportunities to serve the fellowship making refreshments
for a meeting or holding an
office in a group bolster the
newcomer's self-esteem. The, gay, and lesbian membership also
provides for socializing; members "go to coffee." The Big
Apple Roundup is only one ofmore than a dozen conferencesin North America for gay , andlesbian AAs. In New York,
Roundup organizers put on several fund-raising dances prior tothe conference. Speaking of theRoundup, one organizer says: "I
think there are a lot of people

While the Traditions guide groups, Individual members
must rely on the more ambiguous "experience, strength andhope" to find their way. The program, through a'member's
AA sponsor pr peer, can give clear guidance on AA's Twelve
Steps or oth~r, program tools, but it does not show members how to deal with "outside issues" in their lives, It is clear
from the p~gram of the 1990 Big Apple Roundup that members do not avoid issues such as AIDS, racism or homophobia. but it is also clear that the program of AA Informs their
response to these issues. Of the ten workshops on AIDS, fiveare concerned with staying sober wiftt AIDS in one's life.
To il certain extent, the fellowship has dealt with the"isms" in, its own unique way. According to one African-American member, New York City has four special-interest meetings
for les\)ian
and gay people of color, There are also meetings,
for people with AIDS and women's meetings, but these could
be seen as more of an -escape than a confrontation with racist
or sexist attitudes, Speaking of special-interest groups, the gaydelegate says: "l know they are essential to my sobriety. I will
defepd the~ doWn the line, but I know there are people whowill 1'hide out in them, use them as a ghetto." A few members
repOrt that on reaching the Fourth Step of the Twelve Steps,
wh6-~they are required to conduct a "searching and fearless
moral inventory of themselves," they have included their own
racist or sexist attitudes in their inventory. Fmally, the people
who have been most successful in applying the spiritual princi, pies of the AA program in these areas are also the most likely
to be the victims of sexism or homophobia. ..
,In his 1985 tape, the gay man with 45 years discussed'the Third Tradition-"The only requirement for membershipis a deSire to stop drinking." It was his view that the Third, Tradition carried an "awesome responsibility." As he put it,,,f

to an "enemy," much less thinking' about loving one who has
previOUslyreviled us. The gay man muses on one's conceptionof G<xi, saying: "Is your conception of God loving enough, forgiving enough? If it has limitations, these are .limitations we put
there." The spiritual values that appear to be at work are fairlyrare in the gay and lesbian community. They are an expression ..
of the AA program suggestion that tells members that they cannot afford anger or resentments, but they also show lo~practice at AA's Eleventh Step "Sought through prayer andmeditation to improve our consc!ous contact with God as we'Understood him, praying only for knowledge of his will for us
and the power to carry that out."
The lesbian who entered the fellowship in 1960 describes
her own 15-year-long "spiritual battIe wifh sexism in AA Iitera-'ture." Much of the current AA literature, including the Big
Book'written in the late '30s and the Twelve Steps and Twelve
Traditions written in the early '50s,' predates any uses of inclusive language. The writing is profoundly sexist. It reflects not
only the subordinate status of women at the time, it was written but, also the presumption,ori the part of male AAs thatwomen could not be alcoholics, When the lesbian
entered the,program," AA was as permeated with sexism as other parts ofSOCiety."Her consciousness was raised as the result of attending lesbian special-interest groups. Her initial objection to sexism in AA came when male AAs refused to use the word
"chairperson." The lesbian relates how she resented the men'&inability or upwillingness to recognize 'Or change their own
sexism. Later, in going through AA literature, she realized; "Mygod, it's all sexist." Her struggle would finally lead to acceptanc;:e,and she says, "The literature, the sexism, remains intact,
but attitudes change.;' The issue of sexism in AA literaturecame ,before the General Service Conference where it was

"The next drunk who walks, through the door deserves thesame loving I got." He goes on to mention three noted anti-gay
bigots who, he is aware, have joined the program of AA anddescribes his personal struggle with this knowledge, concluding, "I'm not sure I know enough about loving yet." k is difficult to imagine in 1990, when the stock in trade of gay activism
is anger sometime,s verging on bitter hatred, any gay or lesbian.
community member thinking about
even extending their hand,

decided to leave Bill W.'s original writings intact, but to make,the language of all new AA literature inclusive, For the lesbian, the collective experience of AA as it is contained in AA
literature is too important to' be rewritten. Just as with the gay ,man,' acceptance brings serenity into the lesbial)'s life, butthere is no sense that she capitulated or lost. The sense is ,that
she found something greater. The lesbian adds, "AA mustremain AA, for the alcoholic who is bom today."

The Twelve Steps

The Twelve Traditions

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol-,.-that our,lives had become unmanageable,
2, ,came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves
CQuidrestore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision'to tum' our will and our lives over to thewe understood Him.
care of God, as..
4., Made a searching and 'fearless moral Inventory ofourselves.
, 5; Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another humanbeing the exact nature of aur wrongs,
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove these defects of .
character.
, , 7" Humbly asked him to remove our shortcomings,_,,
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became
willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, 'except when to do so would Injure them or others.
,
10, Continued to take personal'inventory, and when, we''".
were wrong prOmp~y admitted it. ,':11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve ourconscious contact with God as we understood Him,praying only fot knowledge of his will and the power tocarry that out. '",12. Having had a Spiritual awakening as the result of thesesteps, we tried to carry this message to alcohOlics, andto practice these principles In all our affairs,..

1. Our common welfare should come first; p,e.r.s,onal 'recovery depends upon AA unity. "2. For our group purpose th~re is but one ultimate ,authority, a loving God 8S He may express Himself In
our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted
selVants; theY,do not govern.
3, The only requirement for AA members'hlp Is a'desire to stop drinking.
'4. Each group should be autonomous except In mattersaffecting other groups or AA aaa whole,.
5. Each group has but one primary purpose: to carry Its,
message to the alcoholic who still suffers;
6. An AA group ought never endorse, finance or lend the
AA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest
problems of money, property and prestige divert us
from our primary purpose.
",
7, Every AA group ought to be fully self-supporting,declining outside contributions. '"'•8. Alco~o,lics Anonymous should remain forever no'n~professional, but our service center. may employ
special workers.
, (9, AP" as such, ought never be organized, .but we may
create selVice boards or committees directly responsible
to those they selVe.
10, Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside
issues; hence-the AA name ought never be drawn Intopublic controversy,
11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather
than promotion; we need always maintain personal
anonymity at the,level of radio, press and films,,, 12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our
traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before, personalities.

ARE YOUNOW OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN by Eric Bentley. The Village Theater Company. 133 W. 22nd St.
. Through Dec. 16. ,'by Michael Paller,~

The title of Eric Bentley's Are You
Now or Have You Ever Been refers not to
the qUestion of one's membership in apolitical partf but rather to the matter of
personal identity: Are you now, or haveyou ever been, yourself, or have you
always subsumed your identity to thelarge and not-always-silent
majority?
This is, indeed, the theme of many of
Bentley's plays, and (or him, the matter
is not, one. of merely academic ,interest
In the 70s, as one of the country's mostrespected theater critics, translators andteachers, he came out with a vengeance,
differentiating himself from the mass andI proViding an example. to closetedmen
and women in the arts. Alas, the example has too rarely been followed.
The text of Are You Now is drawn
from more than a decade's worth of testimony before, the House UnAmerican
Activities Committee beginning in the.late '40s. Predictably, HUAC uncovered
no conspiracy in the arts, ,but thanks toexactly the sort of thinking HUAC represented at its most warped, the arts havenever achieved a position in American
culture strong enough to conspireagainst a glass of water. Bentley's pointis that those artists who had thestrongest sense of themselves were theones most likely to emerge from this testwith their integrity intact, and he cites
the cases of Lionel Stander, Lillian Hellman, Arthur Miller andPaul Robeson as,
examples, Bentley makes this point most
