Diseases prevalent years after Vietnam
Agent Orange effects still felt
The Associated Press
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam – Long after lush growth masked the scars of Agent Orange on the landscape, doctors here blame the deadly defoliant for a second-generation wave of cancers and birth defects.
Vietnamese specialists are seeking support from retired U.S. Adm. Elmo Zumwalt, who commanded naval forces during the Vietnam War.
"Many, many friends of mine die," said one of the specialists, Dr. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Phuong of Tu Du Hospital.
Zumwalt was among officers who ordered the spraying to deny cover to Vietnamese troops. He blames Agent Orange for the 1988 cancer death of his son, who served under his command, and for brain damage to his grandson.
He is expected to arrive tomorrow for a weeklong tour of Vietnam to
assess what might be done to counter the aftereffects.
Phuong said surveys show that dioxin from Agent Orange lingering in body tissue affects young mothers as well as men exposed decades ago.
"We must carry out long-term studies, but we can't," she said. "After we concentrate on schools, housing, family planning, it costs too much for us."
Dr. Arnold $chester, a dioxin specialist at the State University of New York at Binghamton, who is coming to Vietnam with Zumwalt, declined to draw conclusions from studies done so far.
"We just don't know yet," he said. "We hope to convince the U.S.govment to fund its own scientists to do dioxin research, in cooperation with the Vietnamese, for the profit of everyone."
Until 1971, U.S. planes sprayed 12 million gallons of Agent Orange, containing 374 pounds of dioxin. Researchers say dioxin can remain in humans for decades, triggering cancers after long dormant periods.
Its use in the war remains controversial, exposing U.S. commanders to charges of chemical warfare. Zumwalt said recently he would spray Agent Orange again if it was the only means of protecting his forces from jungle ambush.
After the war, impoverished and isolated Vietnamese officials did only sketch research into contamination. They found many presumed victims had died undiagnosed in remote mountain areas.
At Tu Du Hospital, Phuong makes her point with visits to a grim ward where young women who were breast-fed from mothers sprayed by Agent Orange are treated for cancers of the placenta during pregnancy.
Nearby, 50 deformed children play listlessly in a few rooms, their permanent home. Grotesque skull shapes, missing limbs and cleft palates all suggest Agent Orange.
Dr. Lennart Hardell, a Swedish specialist, has linked cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma and sarcoma to dioxin remaining for years in body tissue.

Murdered boy would have begun school yesterday
--merchandise
Instead he was buried, a murder suspect who himself was shot to death when fellow gang members got to him before police could.
CHICAGO — Robert Sandifer should have been starting sixth grade yesterday, scampering across the schoolyard with other 11-year-olds, lugging a backpack or chafing in a new shirt.
Robert was hunted by police for three days last week for allegedly firing a pistol into a cluster of people on
Robert's mother, Lorina Sandifer, an admitted former drug addict in whose custody authorities said the boy suffered cigarette burns and other abuse, sat quietly through most of the service, her emotions masked behind dark glasses.
Aug. 28. The shots killed a 14-year-old girl, Shavon Dean, 10 yards from the front door of her South Side home.
Robert's body was found in a dank railroad underpass. He shot twice in the head and died. Two brothers, ages 14 and 16, are charged with his killing, allegedly planned to curtail the police attention Robert drew.
September14 to November30 (12 week class)
Short of 5 feet tall, not quite 70 pounds, Robert had 12 felony arrests and was prosecuted at least eight times in the past two years on charges including robbery and arson. Twice convicted, he received probation.
Eleven-year-old Marcus Harris proclaimed that he would meet the same fate, "Cause I ain't in no gang, and I don't want to be in no gang."
