But if they didn't do it, the middle-aged gay men, then how come so many of them died of AIDS in the '80s How did that happen
More Quotes from Ron Cowen:
Series with political content tend to age badly, and Cowen and Lipman know a thing or two about dated television -- the men, who began their work and home lives together in 1971 at a playwrights' conference, wrote An Early Frost, the first TV movie about AIDS, which aired in 1985.

They don't want other people knowing what they've done.
