Welcome to the premier episode of "It Was 20 Years Ago Today."  Today we look back to October 3, 1986, when the <a href="http://jama.ama-assn.org/">Journal of the American Medical Association</a> carried three different articles dealing with AIDS. I found the <a href="http://www.aegis.com/topics/timeline/">AIDS Timeline at aegis.com</a> very useful in preparing this episode. The episode music is "Ambulance Ride for the Soon to Be Deceased," by Devin Anderson.  The theme music was composed and performed by <a href="http://www.drysmoke.com">Marc Rose</a>.

Episode #1 -- AIDS in the Early Days

A look at the events and culture of the (relatively) recent past -- twenty, or sometimes thirty, years ago from the day of posting.  The 1980s. The 1990s.  People.  Society.  Books, movies, television and video games.  Crime and justice.  War and disasters.  It's all here, seen through the lens of my own memory.  Learn or remember about days not so long gone, and see how what happened then affects us today -- all in less than ten minutes per episode.
