WORLD IN BRIEF : UNITED NATIONS : 2nd Official Quits in AIDS Policy Rift
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
In a widening dispute over AIDS policy at the World Health Organization, the second in command of the U.N. agency’s AIDS program has quit to show support for the former program leader, Dr. Jonathan Mann, an agency source said in Geneva, Switzerland. Kathleen Kay, 31, an Australian who was Mann’s executive assistant, has resigned, the source said. Mann, a 42-year-old American, quit last week as head of the Global Program on AIDS because he was at odds with WHO Director General Hiroshi Nakajima’s AIDS strategy.
