6.0 quake hits Alaska, but damage is minor
The Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A strong earthquake jolted Alaska, causing rock slides, knocking people out of bed and toppling bottles from tavern shelves. There were no reports of injuries or serious damage, authorities said.
The quake hit at 11:19 p.m. Tuesday, measuring 6.0 on the Richter scale. It was centered about 110 miles northwest of Anchorage in south-central Alaska. It lasted about 40 seconds and was felt over a wide area, from Fairbanks to Prince William Island. Geologists said, Earth-quakes measured 6.0 or above can cause severe damage, but none was reported.
"We stood in the doorway and watched the trees whip back and forth," said Joyce Logan, co-owner
of the Skwenta Roadhouse. "One of our neighbors was in the bathtub when it hit, and he said it was like a tidal wave."
A trooper in the area reported some minor rock slides onto the Parks Highway, the main thoroughfare between Anchorage and Fairbanks, said George Carte, a geophysician at the Tsunami Warning Center. Rocks also fell onto railroad tracks linking the cities, he said.
The quake put hairline cracks in the plaster walls of the Alaska State Troopers office in Cantwell, said Trooper Roger Ellis.
"Most people just panicked," said Trina Schrette, an employee at the Top of the World Restaurant in the Hilton Hotel. "Some were amused and stuck it out. (The bartender) threatened to quit."
Bill Starkey, caretaker at the Chelatna Lake Lodge near the quake's epicenter, said the earthquake was violent enough to knock him out of bed.
Survey says marijuana treatment is accepted by some oncologists
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA - Half of all U.S. cancer specialists responding to a survey have recommended marijuana to patients nauseated by chemotherapy, and 54 percent think it should be legalized for medical use, researchers said yesterday.
The Drug Enforcement Administration has maintained that doctors rarely recommend marijuana to relieve nausea caused by chemotherapy and to improve patients' appetites.
In the survey conducted last spring by two researchers at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, 44 percent of the neurologists said they had recommended marijuana to at least one patient.
In addition, 48 percent said they would prescribe the drug if it were legal, 30 percent said they needed more information before deciding
and 22 percent said they would not take advantage of a change in laws.
Fifty-four percent supported legalization and 46 percent were opposed, according to the survey.
The survey was mailed to a random sample of 2,430 members of the American Society of Clinical Oncologists or one-third of the U.S. members.
Legalization of marijuana on a prescription basis is the subject of a lawsuit against the government.
In 1989, the DEA ignored the advice of an administrative law judge and refused to legalize the drug for medi-cal prompting cancer patients to sue.
At the time, DEA counsel Steven Stone questioned the degree of support for the medical use of marijuana, and John Lawn, then the chef, characterized claims of medical useless as a cruel hoax.
