Here's a complete broadcast of Donahue on WBBM Channel 2, looking at the AIDS epidemic early on in its devastation within the gay community, and summing up what was known up to then.
His guests are screenwriter and Gay Men's Health Crisis co-founder Larry Kramer; Philip Lanzaratta, who'd been diagnosed as having Kaposi's Sarcoma, a cancer associated with AIDS; and Dan William, M.D., an internist at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City (now part of the Mount Sinai Hospital system), who diagnoses AIDS patients.
Includes:
Station ID / promo for "Incest: The Last Family Secret" at 10pm
