Homelessness study weak
Panelists upset with severe editing of report
WASHINGTON — A report that termed homelessness a "national disgrace" was watered down and reduced, the university gauge and more specific recommendations, said members of the group involved. (The National Academy of Sciences.)
The Associated Press
Bruce C. Vladek, president of the United Hospital Fund of New York and head of the 13-member committee that prepared the study, said the Academy refused to include a strong supplemental statement.
"The report, as it now stands, was rejected by a majority of the committee because they felt it was not strong enough." Vladek said.
The edited final report "did not allow us to express our outrage, our anger, and our dismay at what we studied," complained Phyllis Wolf, a panel member and the head of the Homeless, Inc., in Washington.
the panel, were a little disturbed because we were able to go into more detail on the problems of the homeless and some of the corrective measures that should be taken," said Nathan Stark, a Washington lawyer and panel member. "We also need a six-figure supplemental statement by Vladek's office in New York.
Despite the complaints, Vladek rested his hand on the material to the supplemental meal he had already generated more attention by being left out of the official report.
Faced with a choice of leaving out their strongest comments and issuing no report at all, the majority chose to permit the Academy to issue the bulk of the study and then make an effort to keep the institute independent, he explained.
The supplemental statement called for a restoration of federal support for low-income housing to 1981 levels, criticism the sharp cuts in these
programs in recent years
It also urged a minimum wage at a level which would make decent housetimes possible. It recommended the federal government to be the guardian of last resort in health care.
"The way you do away with homelessness is to provide homes," commented Stark, a former underscriber and former director of Health and Human Services.
The panelists were "concerned that not enough emphasis was put on the plight of homelessness, in terms of a statistical study." Stark said.
"I think the Academy is right in one sense," he said. "They want all their reports to be as scientific and objective as possible."
But, he said, once he had visited shellers and met the homeless and people who work with them, he noted that more was needed in this report.
Breast cancer deaths can be reduced by mammogram tests
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — New studies show breast cancer deaths can be reduced by 24 percent among women aged 40 to 49 if they have marmurum examinations every two years, the National Cancer Institute said yesterday.
NCI scientists said a new analysis of data from a clinical trial conducted by the Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York confirms that there are definite life-saving benefits in mammographic screening among 40-49 year-old women.
the benefits" for this age group, said Kenneth Cnu, tea
author of the NCI analysis.
"This is the first statistically significant evidence of
Evidence has been clear for some time, he said, that there is a significant benefit in mammographic screening among women aged 50 and above. But whether these benefits outweigh the risks at ages 40 and 50 has been a matter of controversy, said Chu.
By analyzing the Health Insurance Plan, or HIP, over a longer follow up period, Claus said, it becomes clear that consistent screening among the younger women can be "significant reductions in breast cancer mortality."
Florida woman fired for 'bimbo' appearance
The Associated Press
FORT LAUERDALE. Fla – a Prosecutor whose boss complained her short skirts made her look like a man-hunting "bimbo" has been fired after lodging a complaint against him with the county human rights department.
Brenda Taylor, a Broward County assistant state attorney, had refused to trade her designer blouses and tight-fitting skirts for more conservative attire despite memos from her supervisor, John Countryman.
"I'm a little embarrassed for the state attorney's office." Ms. Taylor's attorney, Lawren Lowenthal, said after Monday's digging. "I think they've stepped into a hole and now they're digging it deeper."
charging she had mishandled drunken-driving cases, was frequently absent or tardy from court, and failed to pay fines.
Ms. Taylor on Monday received a dismissal letter
Ms. Taylor said her firing came in direct response to the complaint she filed against Countryman last month.
"This is garbage," said Ms. Taylor, 25. "It just shows to what lengths they will go to get someone. I've never been a crusader before, but it was my neck on the line; and I had to do something."
countyfly's problem with his . . . we were spelled out in five memos and in Monday's termination letter
"I told her that her appearance in court in a short skirt created the impression that she was a bimbo interested only in meeting men." Countryman wrote in one memoir that she was not, but that, to outsiders, appearance was reality.
