• Cirque du Soleil (say it: Serk du So-lay) is being accused of out-dated thinking about the dangers of AIDS.It is a modern acrobatic circus from Canada that tours in the United States and other countries.
  Last April, the company fired Matthew Cusick because he was HIV positive.This was after he spent four months learning his part in an act.
  A spokesman for the circus said Cusick was fired for safety reasons.They said he was a danger to others.
  He disagreed.
  Hundreds of people picketed a show in San Francisco.They said that firing him was not legal.
  Cusick says the company knew he was HIV positive when they hired him.It was not fair to let him put so much time into learning his act, and then fire him before he performed.
  He says he is not a danger to others.People can only get AIDS if infected blood contacts another person's blood, or open wound.
  The company says what their acrobats do is very, very dangerous.They perform tricks without nets.Someone might fall and get hurt.It could be bloody.They say it is too risky to let a person with HIV take part in an act.
  People who run the circus say it hurts to be accused of discrimination.
  Matthew Cusick says he feels hurt that he can't perform in the big blue and yellow tent.
  Dozens of artists, actors, writers and entertainers got involved in protesting the firing of Matthew Cusick.Some names you might know are: the Actors' Equity Union (45,000 members), Rosie O'Donnell, Rod McKuen, and Chad Allen.They also protested at a showing in Orange County.They said "HIV discrimination is unacceptable."

• Some young soldiers who had recently joined the army were being trained in modern ways of fighting, and one of the things they were shown was how an unarmed man could trick an armed enemy and take his weapon away from him.First one of their two instructors took a knife away from the other, using only his bare hands; and then he took a rifle away from him in the same way.After the lesson, and before they went on to train the young soldiers to do these things themselves, the two instructors asked them a number of questions to see how well they had understood what they had been shown.One of the questions was this: “Well, you now know what an unarmed man can do against a man with a rifle.Imagine that you are guarding a bridge at night, and that you have a rifle.Suddenly you see an unarmed enemy soldier coming towards you.What will you do?”
  The young soldier who had to answer this question thought carefully for a few seconds before he answered, and then said, “Well, after what I have just seen, I think that the first thing I would do would be to get rid of my rifle as quickly as I could, so that the unarmed enemy couldn't take it from me and kill me with it!”
