Jamie Fiske, 11 months old, had one thing in common with three-year-old Justine Pinheiro, and that disappeared on an operating table in Minneapolis. On Nov. 5 the baby daughter of Charles and Marilyn Fiske of Bridgewater, Mass., underwent six hours of surgery that gave her a new liver and a good chance to recover from biliary atresia, a congenital liver defect that generally leads to death before the age of four. Justine Pinheiro is still waiting for a transplant to give her the same chance. The disparity in their fates raises one of the thorniest ethical questions facing...
...could begrudge a dying baby the means of survival. But Debbie Pinheiro, Justine's mother, admits, "We really get jealous over it." Debbie, 20, and her husband Jose, 24, a welder, have tried to match the Fiskes' effort to focus attention on their daughter's plight. The Pawtucket, R.I., couple have also petitioned their Congressman and been headlined on the front page of the Providence Journal. "I hope that the same thing that happened to the Fiskes happens to us," says Justine's mother. "I'm nobody important, but I'm determined to fight...
...notable victory for law-and-order and a stunning defeat for the Communists. Eanes, the tough, austere army chief of staff who put down a leftist military uprising last November, won 61.5% of the vote, trouncing far-left candidate Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho (16.5%), seriously ailing Premier Jose Pinheiro de Azevedo (14.4%) and the Communist standard-bearer Octavio Pato (7.6%). Although Eanes' victory was less a personal triumph than a vote of confidence in the three non-Communist parties that backed him-the Socialists, Popular Democrats and conservative Center Social Democrats-the general is expected to wield...
Absolute Majority. Eanes, according to one recent poll, may receive at least 33% of the vote in the election. Although about 38% of the electorate is still undecided, the current Premier, Admiral Jose Pinheiro de Azevedo-who is not backed by any political party but is counting on his personality to put him across-is favored by 14% of the voters; ultra-leftist Army Major Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho should get 11 % of the vote. The Communist candidate, Octavio Pato, the party's No. 2 man and considered more acceptable than Stalinist Party Boss Alvaro Cunhal, trails with...
Through transfers and discharges of known leftists, Portugal's army, which last summer was an almost unmanageable stronghold of revolutionary ardor, has been transformed into a relatively disciplined force loyal to Pinheiro de Azevedo's government. Efforts to nationalize many of Portugal's industries and to carry out a sweeping land-reform program have virtually stopped. There have been almost nightly bombings of local Communist and leftist headquarters in northern Portugal. Conservative farmers in the north who have joined in the new Confederation of Farmers plan to make their angry voices heard in elections for the legislature...
