mainlining HIV

[S Martens]

There is a guy named Philip Machanick (NB one 'l' in his first name) at the
U of Witwatersraad.  His home page is at http://www.cs.wits.ac.za/~philip/.
He has written a lot of letters to the Jo'burg Mail&Guardian as well as a
few computer articles there and elsewhere, but only the letter at
http://www.mg.co.za/mg/letters/2000/4may-letters.html says anything like
this story, but its not some Berkeley prof he's challenging, it's Thabo
Mbeki.

David Rasnick has at least one article in the Mail&Guardian too, but nowhere
are both names together.  This article (
http://www.mg.co.za/mg/za/archive/2001jan/features/25jan-smith.html ) claims
Resnick promised to be injected with HIV, but it is dated January last year
and it does not say when or to whom he promised it.

This is an odd confluence of events if true.
