Mother trades son for cocaine
Officials prepare to take custody of her two children
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Authorities started paperwork yesterday to deny a pregnant drug addict custody of her two babies, one day after she looked through a glass partition and identified a 22-month-old boy as the child she traded for $50 worth of cocaine.
"The child pointed at her. A child knows its mother, strange as circumstances might be, tragic as circumstances might be," said Frank Gianta, police youth division investigator describing the brief reunion between Lou Ann Powell and her son, Anthony.
Anthony had been in foster care since he was found abandoned outside a labor agency June 16 and turned over to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, said agency spokesman Dave Schneidman.
Ms. Powell, 26, was well-known to case workers from Family Services because of past reports of neglect
Police, not realizing Anthony had been found and placed in foster care by the Family Services agency, had been looking for him since they arrested Ms. Powell on an outstanding prostitution warrant July 23.
involving Anthony and his 9-monthold brother, Joseph, Schneidman said.
"Naturally, the first question we ask when she's arrested is, 'Where's Anthony?'" Schneidman said. "And she comes out with this business of using him as collateral for a $50 coke buy."
"She talked about making 150 deals with this guy and falling behind, then offering the kid as collateral," Giunta said. "She apparently planned to redeem him when she got some money, kind of like when you take a promissory note from the bank."
Poll disputes author's findings about women and relationships
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — An ABC News/Washington Post poll released yesterday disputes the attitude of American women toward their relationships with men depicted in a recent report by author Shere Hite
In the ABC/Post poll, which used a different methodology than Ms. Hite's poll, 7 percent of the women said they had had an extramarital affair. Thirteen percent of the men reported having had an affair.
In the Hite report on Women and Love, 75 percent of women married more than five years reported having
affairs, and 98 percent reported they were dissatisfied with some aspect of their relationship.
Of the women surveyed in the ABC/Post poll, 93 percent of married women and single women in a relationship satisfied with their relationship.
According to the Hite report, 98 percent of women say they would like their married husband or their lover to ask them more about their own feelings and thoughts. In the ABC/ Post survey, 58 percent of married women and 67 percent of single women said their partners asked
them about their own thoughts and feelings about as much as the women desired them to.
The methods used in the two surveys differed widely.
The ABC/Post poll interviewed 1,505 randomly chosen men and women 18 and older nationwide by telephone from Oct. 15-18. The survey had a error margin of plus or minus three percentage points.
The results were weighted to U.S. Census figures for age, education, race and sex to assure all groups were proportionately represented, the polling organization said.

The market's decline is proving a blow for small companies that need to raise money for expansion and job creation, analysts said.
Nervous investors have been pulling their money out of small companies and putting it into bigger ones, which they apparently believe are more stable in a time of trouble.
"Today seemed to be a particularly devastating day for the over-the-counter market, and the over-the-counter market is where most young companies start out their lives," said Harry Miller, portfolio manager for Johnson, Lane, Space, Smith & Co. in Atlanta.
Some privately held companies have already delayed plans to go public because of the depressed price their shares would be likely to fetch, and small public companies may be holding on on issues of extra stock.
The NASDAQ composite index of over-the-counter stocks fell nine percent, or 29.55 points, to 298.90. Since Oct. 13, the day before the market's slide began, the OTC index has fallen 31.3 percent, or a bit more than the 28.5 percent decline by the Dow industrials.
destruction of wealth in the stock market may cause consumers to retrench, sending the economy into a recession. The fears gained credibility Monday when the Commerce Department reported consumer spending fell a sharp 0.5 percent last month, the first decline since January, even before the market's collapse.
On a brighter note, the Commerce Department said the spending drop was accompanied by a 0.7 percent rise in personal incomes, the biggest advance since February.

Fairchild also said Blevins had had two weeks before the bonds were issued to file a complaint. But now the bonds already are issued, and the money cannot be recovered, he said.
