NEWYORK—Consumer confidence surged in November to its highest level in 4 1/2 years in what economists said was a reflection of rising job opportunities and the prospect of lower taxes with Republicans.
Consumers report high confidence
The survey was issued yesterday by the Conference Board, a business research group in New York.
The Associated Press
Some economists called the surge an aberration. Others said it meant Americans were more likely to borrow and spend in coming months despite the sharp increase in interest rates this year.
financial economist at First Chicago Capital Markets Inc., a Chicago investment firm. "The consumer remains completely unfaxed by higher interest rates."
"The rise in confidence was stun-
ning," said Anthony Kardalys, senior
An index based on survey results climbed to 101.3 in November, up from a revised 89.1 in October. It was the highest reading since the index stood at 101.7 in July 1990, just before the recession began, and the biggest one-month jump since November 1993.
The index, calculated from a base of 100, is derived from responses to questionnaires sent to 5,000 U.S. households every month, querying consumers on topics ranging from appliance-buying plans to local job availability.
It is regarded as an important barometer of the financial security felt by consumers, who account for two-thirds of all U.S. economic activity.
"The current level of confidence signals an expanding economy in the months ahead," said Fabian Linden, head of the Conference Board's consumer research unit. "The latest consumer confidence readings strongly suggest that fears of an imminent slowing of the economy are unrealistic."
More consumers surveyed said jobs were plentiful in November, while an increasing number said they were more confident about their family incomes, employment opportunities and business conditions in the coming six months.
New technique sheds light on breast cancer
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — A radioactive tracer injected into women who may have breast cancer makes malignancies light up on a detector and could in half the number of biopsies needed in this country, a researcher said yesterday.
If the technique is proved effective, it could save millions of dollars and spare hundreds of thousands of women the pain and scarring that can accompany biopsies, said the researcher, Irai Khalkhal.
The technique was 90 percent accurate in identifying breast cancer in women who were afflicted, Khalkhali and colleagues reported at a meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.
"Manumography is very sensitive at detecting most abnormalities in the breast, but only one out of every four or five suspicious lesions seen on a mammogram turns out to be a cancer," said Khalkhali, an associate professor of radiology at the University of California at Los Angeles.
Khalkali cautioned that the method was still experimental.
The new technique, called scinti-
mammography, costs about $600 and employs a radioactive tracer first used to detect heart disease. The patient is exposed to about the same amount of radiation she would receive on a cross-country airplane trip.
Biopsies typically cost $1,500 to $3,000. About 700,000 a year are done to evaluate breast lumps.
The new technique has the potential to eliminate the need for half of them, Khalkhali estimated.
"We can no longer afford to do a biopsy on every suspicious finding seen on mammography," Khalkhali said.
Motive unknown in Dahmer case
The Associated Press
"He wanted to be in with the general population," said Stephen J. Eisenberg. "He didn't want to sit in a hole all day long."
MADISON, Wis. — Jeffrey Dahmer didn't want restrictive living arrangements that would have given him more protection in the prison where his head was bashed in, his lawyer said yesterday.
Authorities still did not know a motive in Monday's killing. Dahmer was found in a pool of blood in a restroom next to a gymnasium at the maximum security Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage. His head was bashed in.
An inmate who had been working with Dahmer also was beaten and remained in critical condition yesterday with head injuries.
A third prisoner who had been working with the two men on a cleaning detail was identified as the suspect in the slaving.
The 25-year-old suspect, Christopher J. Scarver, was convicted in the 1990 execution-style slaying of a man during a robbery in Milwaukee.
Dahmer, Scarver and the injured inmate were the only inmates in the gym at the time of the attack, Sullivan said.
Clot found in Quayle's lung The Associated Press
FDA asked to relabel pills for 'morning after' use
INDIANAPOLIS — Former Vice President Dan Quayle underwent treatment yesterday for a blood clot in his lung just weeks before he was expected to announce whether he would run for president in 1996.
Quayle went to the emergency room for a chest X-ray Sunday because he wasn't feeling well, said Deborah Allen, his family physician.
He returned to the hospital Monday after complaining of shortness of breath. Doctors found that a blood clot had traveled to his lung, said Pam Perry, a representative for Indiana University Medical Center.

"The doctors are very optimistic about Mr. Quayle's condition right now," she said.
The petition says six oral contraceptives sold in the United States are proven effective as emergency postcoital contraception: Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories' Ovral, Lo/Ovral, Nordette and Triphasil, and Berlex Laboratories' Levlen and Tri-Levlen.
The Associated Press
The center filed a petition with the FDA on behalf of the American Public Health Association, the American Medical Women's Associat
"The FDA has stood idly by as drug manufacturers routinely suppress required information about safe and effective emergency contraception," Janet Benshoff, president of the Center for Reproductive Law and Policy, said Monday. "Millions of women are being hurt."
WASHINGTON — A group of organizations concerned with women's health issues wants the Food and Drug Administration to require relabeling of six brands of oral contraceptives to tell women how to use them as "morning after" pills.
Although sold for emergency contraception overseas, the companies have not added this use to labels in the United States, Benshoof said.

FDA spokesman Don McLearn said the agency would study the petition but that regulations required manufacturers to initiate a change. "Under our law, we simply can't decide that some new indication should be on a drug and then mandate it."
