[PW] Where are Wright's AIDS remarks?

[Nichael Cramer]

For any interested parties:

It appears that the National Press Club doesn't make a recording of the
speech available on-line (although I believe you can order a CD).

However the NPR program "Word for Word" (which specializes in
presenting complete speeches, etc) has a complete recording of the
speech on their web-site.

http://wordforword.publicradio.org/

(I point to this without further comment beyond saying that I found
it interesting listening.)
