Abstract
The opportunity to present a Special Lecture at this International Conference on Drugs of Abuse, Immunity and AIDS is a privilege, and I am most grateful to Drs. Friedman, Klein and Specter for the honor they have accorded me. However, to ferret out an area for presentation that does not contain information presented by other speakers in this session, or to just review their published findings, would be a waste of time for this presentation. Certainly, I do not want to use my time to discuss in any part, the information provided by my colleagues - Drs. Robert Donahoe and John Madden - in their presentations. I have decided, therefore, to focus on an issue of long-standing interest to me which also may have relevance to upcoming discussions of other presentations in this section of the publication.
