Former New Edition Star Johnny Gill
Makes His Acting Debut On “Family
Matters” February 7
Popular rhythm & blues singer
Johnny Gill, former member of the smash
group New Edition, makes his acting
debut on the hit comedy “ Family Mat­
ters” February 7 (8:00-8:30 PM, PT).
In the episode, Laura (Kellie Sha-
nygne Williams) tells Steve (Jaleel
White) that she’ll give him a kiss if he
arranges for her to meet her all-time
favorite singer - Johnny Gill. Though
Laura is fully confident that such a
meeting will not take place, Uikcl quickly
tracks down the singer and makes him
an offer he can’t refuse.
Gill began singing at age eight in
the group Gill special, a gospel quartet
that included his three brothers. After
years of singing gospel, he expanded
into pop and found early stardom with
“ Perfect Combination,” an album of
duets he recorded with vocalist Stacy
Lattisaw. He eventually joined the
popular group New Edition and sang
lead on two of the band’s most popular
singles, “ Can You Stand the Rain’’
and “ Boys to Men.”
Upon leaving New Edition, Gill
released his self-titled debut album,
which showcased his ability to per­
form ballads and earned him a reputa­
tion as a “ modern-day Marvin Gaye.”
His second album is scheduled for
release next spring.
“ Family Matters” stars Reginald
VelJohnson, JoMarie Payton, Telma
Hopkins, Rosetta LeNoire, Darius
McCrary, Kellie Shanygne Williams,
Jaimee Foxworth, Bryton McClure and
Jaleel White. The series is a Miller
Boyett Production and Bickley/War-
ren Production in association with
Lorimar Television.

The Origin And Spread Of
Aids Is Finally Revealed
Continued from front page
The advice of the Portuguese writer
was good as far as it went. He did not
mention either malaria or quinine. Only
now do we know why the cure might
have worked. And the great question
remained in 1684: How do you cure
syphilis in a Negro who can’t get ma­
laria?”
How long will a frightened and
embarassed establishment press con­
tinue to shield these culprits whose
machinations threaten the very exis­
tence of the human race in its entirety -
not just persons of African descent
Both Drs. Gilkes and Hobhouse reaf­
firm what the explorers “ Stanley and
Livingston” told us, “ there was no
syphilis in Africa before the explorers,
slave traders and missionaries came.”
That human greed has underwritten
this centuries-long, sordid tale should
not come as any surprise. Certainly not
to Henry Hobhouse, the full title of his
book being “ Seeds of Change: Five
Plants That Transformed Mankind,”
Quinine, Sugar, Tea, Cotton, The Potato.
We all should have a copy o f this im­
portant book.
Ail over America children are the victims of
violent crime They are being assaulted and
even murdered for the sake of anything from
a pair of sneakers to some loose change in
their pockets
1,'s a situation that's only getting worse Unless
you do something to tight back, your child
could become one of those victims.
You can make a difference Start now
The noble searches for “ magic
bullets ’ ’ has mostly been about making
the world safe for colonizers or about
keeping their slaves alive long enough
to produce those cash crops (add * ‘rub­
ber” ). In the March 21,1991 issue of
“ Nature” there is a letter from a Dr. K.
K. Owusu of the Department of Medi­
cine, University of Ghana Medical
School (West Africa); “ All in all, the
epidemiological evidence thus points
to the spread of HIV infection in Africa
since the Second World War from the
Widespread Introduction O f Syringes
And Needles From the West, together
with Vaccination Programs.” That too!
If any further evidence is needed
to evaluate the morality of certain cal­
lous infiltrators of the medical research
field-risking discredit to the entire
medical com m unity-we need look no
further than the current attitude of gov­
ernment, industry and foundations
toward that most unfortunate of vulner­
able groups, HEMOPHILIACS. These
are the people in the world who for
mostly genetic reasons lack a critical
blood-clotting factor, placing them in
danger of bleeding to death from the
smallest cut. Unfortunately for them,
they have been kept alive only by IN­
JECTION OF BLOOD PROTEINS
known as clotting factors. And as you
might suspect, the sordid tale of mon­
key-induced immune deficiency virus
continues. And what are the same
people about in GENETICS?
Last month the international press
informed us that by withholding knowl­
edge that their supply of blood proteins
was AIDS contaminated, the French
government has condemned many thou­
sands of Hemophiliacs to a horrible
death-M en, women and children; not
to mention the tens of thousands of
innocents who will acquire the virus
through various froms of intercourse
with the original group. But if we read
page A3 of The Oregonian on Friday,
January 3, we would know that the very
same thing has happened in AMER­
ICA. Here again we have the same
fatal results where government, the
medical community, foundations and
drug laboratories have conspired to a\
responsibility for a horrible tragedy.
Our “ Dr. Gilks” concludes with a
professional tongue-in-cheek: “ It is
possible, then, to propose a unifying
theory to describe how primate retro­
viruses may have crossed species
boundaries into man or other monkey
species as an UNFORESEEN HAZ­
ARD OF PRIMATE MALARIA EX­
PERIMENTS.”

article, send me a stamped, self-ad­
dressed envelope: The Portland Ob­
