Mexico City's air pollution harms residents

Quake, ethnic strife trouble Armenians
Dual tragedies slow recovery from disasters
The Associated Press
KURSALI, U.S.S.R. — In this Armenian village torn apart last year by bitter ethnic strife and a devastating earthquake, the rival mountain people are finding it easier to mend bones than fences.
Despite edicts from Moscow that national differences be cast aside, and despite the daunting task of post-disaster recovery, the peasants harked back to the battle that the hikers for Azerbaijanis that has given them solace through tragedy.
The long-simmering hostility between Armenians and Azerbaijaniates that broke open a year ago forced the 1,100 residents of this ancient village to choose $_{4}$ sides against friends and neighbors.
There had been little trouble here, but, in an excess of adherence to the adage that blood is thicker than water, Kursali came to typify the headlong rush into ethnic trauma that wracked Armenia before the
earthquake.
Nearly 1,000 Armenians sought refuge here after riot and murder drove them from the Azerbajani port of Sumgait, some crowding into the hillside homes of relatives and others swapping the places they abandoned for stone hovels left behind by Azerbajanis made to pay for the crimes of their distant countrymen.
Kursail was in the midst of the turmoil so that officials have no clear idea how many people were here when the Dec. 7 earthquake struck, destroying every dwelling and visiting death on every family.
Long suppressed by the official Soviet facade of multinational brotherhood, hostility broke open in 1988 when Armenians began demonstrating to demand annexation of a mostly Armenian region of Azerbaijan. Nagorno-Karabakh.
The protesters were initially peaceful, but counterdemonstrations by Azerbaijani turned violent. On Feb. 28, zealots on a rampage, killing 28 Armenians and six others in the Azerbaijani city of Sumgait.
President Mikhail Gorbachev lashed out at the demonstrators after a visit to the earthquake-striken area.
Bubble boy's legacy is successful treatment for once-fatal immune disorder
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Five years after the death of David, the boy in a bubble, some babies with the same fatal disorder are avoiding the sterile isolation that he required to survive for 12 years.
der that left him without protection against disease. At the time, children with the disorder died because there was no treatment.
Doctors placed David in a clear plastic bubble immediately after birth and in increasingly bigger bubbles as he grew to protect him from germs. Meanwhile,
researchers worked on a treatment.
David, whose family name was never released to the public, died Feb. 22, 1984, of blood cancer contracted shortly after he underwent an experimental bone-marrow treatment designed to free him from the bubble.
because of the treatment, there has not been another bubble boy.
Today at Texas Children's Hospital, many children with SCIDS are successfully receiving the improved transplant treatment, Shearer said. A handful of hospitals across the country also perform the transplant.
No other child lived like David and,
About one out of every 100,000 babies has SCIDS.

The treatment involves taking about a quart of bone marrow from a donor, either a sibling or a parent, and injecting it into a vein. If the transplant is successful, bone-marrow cells known as lymphocytes form the core of a healthy immune system.
