It's a retrospective about AIDS, not especially steeped in conservative bias:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/05/AR2006060501285.htmlMy major quibble is his selective critique of the early politcal and media handling of AIDS. He blames those who were too politically correct to make the gay community the prime focus for safe-sex campaigns. But he ignores the "silence=death" phase, when the Reagan administration and the press callously failed to rally concern about the disease (e.g., as a priority for research $$$, as well as for education), because its leading targets weren't June and Ward Cleaver.
I am pleased, though, to see him end with a positive statement about condom use as a preventer of AIDS. Other wingers dream of a world free from birth control, as well as from abortion, feminism, and homosexuals.
A quick scan of his
other recent columns shows him not as routinely doctrinaire as many of his colleagues. But I am intriqued by his obvious distate for McCain, presumably because he's not conservative enough for him, which given McCain's ultra-high marks for right-wing voting is rather striking.
If anyone has been watching Will closely, what have you seen?
