Transplant patient had AIDS virus
PITTSBURGH — The man who died 10 weeks after receiving a baboon liver in an experimental transplant operation was infected with the AIDS virus, a medical review official said yesterday.
The man was selected for the transplant even though University of Pittsburgh Medical Center doctors knew he was infected with the virus, said Richard Cohen, chair of the panel that approved the operation.
The 35-year-old man died Sunday after experiencing bleeding inside the skull.
Yeltsin postpones talks with Japan
MOSCOW—President Boris Yeltsin cancelled a trip to Japan yesterday in the face of growing pressure to resolve a dispute over four Kuril islands seized by the Soviet Union in 1945. Many Russians had expressed fear that Yeltsin would surrender two of the four islands during his three-day trip in exchange for significant economic assistance from Japan.
Yeltsin's press office blamed several circumstances for the indefinite postponement It said Russia's foreign minister would continue talks with Japan.
Study reports rise in hunger
The Associated Press
BOSTON—About 80 million people in the United States fail to eat enough food, a report says.
The research, prepared at the request of the Democratic chair of the House Select Committee on Hunger, estimates hunger has grown by 50 percent since the mid-1980s.
"When we see increasing poverty and decreasing incomes, it's not at all surprising that hunger has increased," said J. Larry Brown, director of Tuffs University's Center on Hunger, Poverty and Nutrition Policy.
The increase in hunger also creates potential for more learning deficiencies among young children, more illness among the elderly and diminished productivity for workers, he said.
threatened because a person repeatedly does not consume enough nutrients.
In 1985, Brown led a national task force that warned that 20 million Americans suffered from hunger, defined as a condition where health is
Brown said he had confidence in the updated figures because three different methods were used to calculate them, and each resulted in a total around 30 million.
"The stereotype is that this is largely an inner city and minority problem," he said. "Those stereotypes no longer hold. It's very dramatic to go into the Midwest and hold a malnourished child in your arms at a family farm. Hunger is in America's breadbasket."
Brown said the profile of hunger had changed as the problem had grown.
The Census Bureau reported last week that poverty reached a 27-year high in 1991 while household incomes declined.
Brown said hunger could be eradicated in the United States for about $8 billion to $10 billion in additional annual spending.
U.N. convoy attacked; two dead, five wounded
The Associated Press
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — The commander of U.N. troops in Sarajevo accused Bosnian forces yesterday of attacking a U.N. convoy that killed two and wounded five
In New York, the Security Council scheduled a closed-door meeting for yesterday evening at France's request to discuss Tuesday's attack.
"The light was clear enough to see the U.N. insignia." U.N. Brig. Gen. Hussein Aly Abdurazek said. "These irresponsible elements have a deliberate plan to jeopardize our presence in Sarajevo."
The Bosnian government forces are frustrated at losing most of their territory to the Serbians and at having their appeals for international help seemingly fall on deaf ears, said Sefer Hallovic, commander of the Bosnian forces.
Many observers think the attack was a high-risk attempt to try to force the United Nations to increase involvement in Bosnia.
In Geneva, U.N. officials said an airlift to the besieged capital was unlikely to resume before next week. The airport has been under heavy attack for the past three days, and it was closed last week after an Italian aid plane crashed on approach. Investigators suspect missiles downed the plane.
There is no immediate danger of starvation for the 40,000 residents still in Sarajevo, but officials warn of shortages of drugs, chlorine for purifying water and fuel for hospital generators.
