Though consumer advocates complain that the service creates a blacklist, Physician's Alert insists that its customers merely want to be cautious in treating people who might sue. Says Eckstein: "We know of no instance in which a patient has been refused care...
DIED. Albert Maltz, 76, Academy Award- winning screenwriter who was imprisoned for ten months, then blacklisted by the film community in the 1950s and early '60s after refusing to testify before Congress about his Communist associations; in Los Angeles. His Oscars were for wartime documentaries: Moscow Strikes Back (1942) and The House I Live In (1945); among his other notable screenplays were This Gun for Hire (1942) and The Naked City (1948). "To understand all," he once said of the blacklist and his years of Mexican exile and pseudonymous work, "is not to forgive...
President Chun Doo Hwan last week abolished a four-year-old blacklist under which 14 leading South Korean opposition figures were banned from political activity.

DIED. Joseph Losey, 75, expatriate American cinema director whose films were relentless, almost clinical studies of human frailty and spiritual corruption; of cancer; in London. An avowed leftist forced into exile by the McCarthy-era blacklist, he started working in England in 1952 and collaborated with Writer Harold Pinter on most of his best films, including The Servant (1963), Accident (1966) and The Go-Between, which won first prize at the Cannes Film Festival...
