Since the publication of ->-bleeped-<-gots in 1978, Larry Kramer has been speaking truth – as he sees it – to power.
What's more unusual, Kramer has been telling his uncomfortable truths to those who, like him, claim to be fighting that power.
Kramer, 76, is comfortable making others uncomfortable. Anger, he says in his cluttered, book-filled apartment off Washington Square Park in Manhattan, is ''a wonderfully healthy emotion.''
