SEGMENT #2 -  World AIDS Day, December 1st, was observed in a wide variety of
ways in cities around the globe.  "The Wall-Las Memorias Project" held its 4th
"Noche De Memorias" (Night Of Memories) Candlelight Vigil at Lincoln Park in
East Los Angeles.  The annual event seeks to memorialize those in the Latino
community who have died from AIDS through the building of a memorial wall, and
to raise awareness about the disease.  Correspondent GIL CONTRERAS [KPFK/Los
Angeles] says many hearts and minds -- including his own -- were opened that
night, as this report demonstrates [features comments by Richard Zaldivar,
Executive Director of Las Memorias, and 3 "estorias" of people who have lost
loved ones to AIDS: a young woman who lost her older brother, a man who lost
his best friend, and another man who lost his lover; also includes on-scene
music by Florentina Tinoco-Barone]
