Ryan White's Mother Wants Meeting With Mike Huckabee to Discuss His AIDS Comments

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's 15-year-old comments that AIDS patients should have been isolated have so alarmed the mother of Ryan White, the teenager whose life-ending battle with AIDS in the 1980s engrossed the United States, that she has asked for a meeting.

The Republican front-runner in Iowa's January 3 caucuses stood by his 1992 comments in a broadcast interview Sunday, infuriating Jeanne White-Ginder, the late teen's mother and a board member of the AIDS Institute.
