After calling some 800 witnesses and studying 29 local CETA efforts, the Dade County grand jury cited testimony indicating that the South Florida program "felt itself politically obligated to respond favorably to numerous requests from officials of county government." Adds Assistant State Attorney Thomas Petersen: "There was all this money for all these programs, but no one had time to plan or evaluate them. The wrong people ended up benefiting...
British Sovietologist Peter Reddaway, a longtime observer of the dissident scene, believes that the human rights movement's links with religious minorities and ethnic groups like the Ukrainians give it a potential mass base. "An unpleasant period is ahead for the dissident groups, but I'm sure they will respond as they have in the past, by toughing it out. A pattern has been established over the years: when dissident leaders disappear, others come forward to take their place." There was no more compelling proof of the dissidents' will to resist than the closing statement delivered by Shcharansky...
Poor management failed to respond to competition, first from European neighbors, and more recently from Third World countries where labor costs are lower. To keep C.I.T.F. going, Boussac mortgaged more and more of his possessions, which include race horses, half a dozen chateaux and the morning Paris newspaper L'Aurore. Finally, unable to borrow further, he reluctantly allowed the company to be taken over by a court-appointed receiver who will decide what, if anything, can be done to salvage C.I.T.F.'s 11,500 jobs. Last week, in an effort to keep C.I.T.F. alive, Boussac offered to give...
There are a few signs that refugee camp conditions may improve soon. After months of refusal, Thailand may be ready to respond to U.S. pressure for better care of its migrants. The U.S. has earmarked $210 million over the next five years to help permanently resettle 40,000 to 50,000 refugees in Thailand. Last week the Justice Department announced that the U.S. will accept 25,000 more Indochinese in addition to the 160,000 who have been admitted to the U.S. since 1975. Australia is committed to taking 6,000 refugees from Thailand, and France is scheduled to resettle...
...main value of the laboratory test, says Salmon, is that it can help the physician plan individual courses of treatment. For example, only 20% of people with cancer of the colon or rectum respond to the drug fluorouracil; the other 80% suffer needlessly from the drug's toxic effects. The new technique may have another benefit: it could be used to evaluate new anticancer drugs without endangering cancer patients...
