   Dr. Jonas Salk presented preliminary test results of an
AIDS vaccine using the whole, inactivated virus to inoculate

been experimenting with virus fragments.
   AIDS researchers released data on dextran sulfate, a drug

an anticoagulant and anti-cholesterol drug in Japan but
barred in the U. S., the medication appeared to produce modest
but encouraging test results.
