People who must adjust to managed care, like the employees at Randall Decorators, in New Dorp, Staten Island, are reacting with frustration and fear, but sometimes with relief. A1. NEW YORK CITY NEW AIDS DEFINITION RAISES CONCERNS As New York begins the use of an expanded definition of AIDS, health officials and advocates for people with H.I.V. are debating how to insure not only an accurate count of new AIDS cases, but confidentiality and timely medical treatment for the patients behind the numbers.

International A3-12 IN UKRAINE, MISSILES AND RESPECT Among disarmament negotiators, nuclear missiles are measured by their ability to destroy. In Ukraine, they are increasingly being measured in terms of dollars and respect, and the perception may well hold the key to the success or failure of the strategic arms treaty signed this week in Moscow.
