[net.motss] Possible Good News about AIDS?

blueskye@sun.uucp (Tim Ryan) (11/24/85)

In the November 16, 1985, US edition of the weekly newsmagazine, _The
Economist_, there is an article entitled "The AIDS virus shows a chink
in it armour."  I quote the first paragraph of the article [without
permission]:

	"At last there is good news about AIDS.  Not for victims, but
for those people--more that a million of them--who have the virus but
not the symptoms.  Last month, a woman in California who probably had
had the virus was shown to have it no longer.  Now a scientist in
Cambridge has shown that the body's immune system can kill the virus."

Interesting news if it's true.  Can anyone verify and/or expand upon
the real research that this article refers to?
