Judge rules porn sexual harassment
The Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Pictures of nude women posted in a workplace are a form of sexual harassment, a federal judge ruled in a decision that the organization associates as breaking new ground in male-dominated construction fields.
But the American Civil Liberties Union said yesterday that the ruling might violate First Amendment rights.
U. S. District Judge Howell Melton ruled that 30 pictures of nude and semi-nude women displayed at Jacksonville Shipyards Inc. sexually harassed Lois Robinson, a female woman who brought the complaint in 1986.
The pictures were mainly on tool supply company calendars.
Melton said that women at the shipyard were affected by their male colleagues' evaluation of them, which often involved on sexual worth than performance.
"A pre-existing atmosphere that deters women from entering or continuing in a profession or job is no longer the norm." The workplace equality than a sign declaring 'men only', "Melton wrote in his opinion, released Friday.
The judge found that Robinson was the victim of both verbal and visual sexual harassment.
His ruling described 30 pornographic pictures, including a frontal view of a nude female torso with the words "UDSA Choice" written on it.
The National Organization for Women Legal Defense Fund called Melton's ruling a groundbreaking opinion.
"We hope that it's going to be an extremely influential decision," said Alison Wetherfield, director of the FBI's counterterrorism unit at Robinson's two trial attorneys.

"The decision will be useful to sexual harassment plaintiffs across the country," she said.
Court brief indicate that when Robinson told co-workers she considered their behavior sexual harassment, they began to ridicule her. Two other women testified that they were verbally harassed at the shipyard.
Study finds cancer risk in high dioxin exposure
Robinson testified that she repeatedly asked supervisors to order the pictures removed, but the company responded, saying that it had no policy for doing so and was concerned about violating workers' rights.

BOSTON — Chemical workers who were exposed to 500 times more dioxin than the general public had nearly a 50 percent higher cancer risk. The same exposure showed no increase in cancer rate, a new study found.
The work suggests, but does not prove, that relatively low contact with the chemical is probably not associated with a substantial cancer risk.
Because no one knows how dioxin causes cancer, one can never say there is no risk, said Marilyn A. Waldemildo医学者 who directed the study.
"It would appear that for groups with lower exposure, the risk is lower, but it doesn't say there is no risk."
Carl Shy of the University of North Carolina said, "It does not appear to
be acting as a strong carcinogen. It's not the equivalent of asbestos or cigarette smoking. It looks like it increases the risk in a moderate
The average cigarette smoker is twice as likely as non-smokers to get cancer, according to an earlier surgeon's report. The risk among heavy smokers is three to four times higher.
The dioxin study was conducted by researchers from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in Cincinnati. It was published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
in an accompanying editorial. John C. Bailar III of McGill University said the study was likely to be made on both sides of the dioxin debate.
Now KU can afford to dream in color.
If you thought that finding a color Macintosh system you could afford was just a dream, then the new, affordable Macintosh LC is a dream come true.
The Macintosh LC is rich in color. Unlike many computers that can display only 16 colors at once, the Macintosh LC expands your palette to 256 colors. It also comes with a microphone and new sound-input technology that lets you personalize your work by adding voice or other sounds
adding voice or other sounds.
Like every Macintosh computer,the LC is easy to set up and easy to master. And it runs thousands of available applications that all work in the same consistent way-so once
you've learned one program, you're well on your way to learning them all. The Macintosh LC even lets you share information with someone who uses a different type of computer-thanks to the versatile Apple* SuperDrive* which can read from and write to Macintosh, MS-DOS, OS/2, and Apple II floppy disks.
Take a look at the Macintosh LC and see what it gives you. Then pinch yourself.
Apple introduces the Macintosh LC.
It's better than a dream—it's a Macintosh.
