LONDON (CWNews.com) - A senior British National Health Service consultant claims that elderly patients are being left to starve to death in NHS hospitals because of an unofficial policy of "involuntary euthanasia." Dr. Adrian Treloar, a consultant in geriatric psychiatry and senior lecturer in geriatrics at the Greenwich Hospital and Guys', King's and St Thomas's Hospitals in London, told Monday's Daily Telegraph that patients are being denied appropriate treatment partly because of the huge pressures on beds building up in the health service. Police are reported to be investigating 60 cases involving elderly who died after allegedly being deprived of ...

Hillary and the other other woman By Globe Staff, 12/07/99 Author Gail Sheehy is in town today to promote her new book, ''Hillary's Choice,'' about the first lady and her marriage. Sheehy, who first hit the bestseller list with ''Passages,'' says the thing that surprised her the most while doing her research was ''how long and how successfully'' Hillary Rodham Clinton ''conspired not to know what she knew.'' That is, about the other women in Bill Clinton 's life, including Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky. But one woman she didn't delude herself about was the one her husband fell madly ...

December 7, 1999 Paramedics´ Group Arranges Funerals for Babies Who Are Abandoned to Die By RANDAL C. ARCHIBOLD ESTBURY, N.Y. -- The early morning sun shone brightly on the tiny coffin coated in white velvet. It sat next to a heap of earth, ready for burial, among the brass plaques marking graves adorned with rubber ducks, pacifiers and toy Santas. The newborn girl, Mary Hope, had been found dead in a bag by workers sorting through recyclables and trash trucked to a Brooklyn plant. So for the 11th time in a year and a half, Timothy Jaccard, a Nassau ...

One of the more distressing things about the current round of Republican presidential debates is the presence of three candidates onstage who have no chance of being president. That's half the field, which reduces by 50 percent the opportunity for the serious contenders -- Texas Gov. George W. Bush, Arizona Sen. John McCain and, to a lesser extent, magazine publisher Steve Forbes -- to make their case to an America just beginning to tune in. That's not to say that Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, Christian-right activist Gary Bauer and talk-show host Alan Keyes aren't all fine, upright citizens with plenty ...

Over the past year there has been a great deal of discussion about a possible constitutional convention and how it would remove the people’s rights and end the Republic forever. Although I digress from the main topic of this essay, I must answer those who believe a convention would repeal the long-held constitutional rights of Americans. It is impossible to do this under our system of government without entirely destroying that system. People have suggested such ideas as an amendment repealing the entire Constitution. Even assuming that such would occur, it must be remembered that the Constitution is one of ...

Ford cools to global warming coalition 12/07/99By J. Scott OrrSTAR-LEDGER WASHINGTON BUREAU WASHINGTON -- Ford Motor Co., one of the largest members of an industry coalition that is opposing an international treaty on global warming, has quit the group, charging that continued membership could damage Ford's environmental credibility. To the applause of environmental groups, Ford said it will not renew its membership in the Global Climate Coalition, an association of more than 50 companies with interest in U.S. energy policy that has lobbied heavily against the so-called Kyoto treaty on global warming. Terry Bresnihan, a spokesman at Ford's environmental strategy ...

Lost in the WTO By Joe Schembrie web posted December 6, 1999 <>The World Trade Organization meeting held in Seattle certainly wasn't intended as a social experiment. The thousands of delegates imagined they were there to discuss international trade, finance, and regulation of commerce. The thousands of protestors outside claimed their focus was on environmentalism and third world sweat shops. Yet when they clashed together, abstract ideals of globalism and compassion were shoved aside, and what we witnessed instead was akin to a psychological exhibition illustrating the dysfunctional depths of the modern human spirit. Walker Percy laid it bare nearly ...

- Standing 2.5 metres (eight feet) tall, with long red hair and a taste for corn on the cob, Big Foot is back and apparently running around a nature reserve in central China, state media said on Monday. Chinese scientists are on the trail of the legendary ape-like beast after a hunter reported seeing a huge fast-moving creature covered in long, red hair in Hubei province's Shennongjia Nature Reserve two months ago, the China Daily said. The scientists found 40-cm (16-inch) footprints, brown hair and chewed corn cobs at the spot where the hunter said he saw the beast, and ...

THE THIRD WAY PART FIVE The Third Way Part V Steve Farrell December 7, 1999 If ever there was a person suffering under the delusion that there really was a nickel's difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, Newt Gingrich's surfing in Alvin Toffler's Third Wave, and his application of the same as the launching pad of 21st Century Republicanism, should have been the wake-up call to stack the sandbags, vacate the beachheads, and run for the hills. Mr. Gingrich told his fellow congressmen, in his Republican Revolution Victory Speech in November of 1994, that "The Third Way ...

How many of the U.S. Army’s 10 active-duty divisions are fit for combat? Last month, to general alarm on Capitol Hill, the Pentagon announced that two divisions — the 10th Mountain and the 1st Infantry, nicknamed the Big Red One — were combat-unready. The explanation given was that because elements of both divisions were on peacekeeping missions in the Balkans, neither the 10th nor the Big Red One could be deployed quickly in the event of war. So that leaves eight, right? Don’t be too sure. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;News alert! has learned from congressional and military sources that another division, this time ...

GENEVA (Reuters) - Airports and air traffic control systems worldwide have reported that their Y2K programs are complete and they are ready for the millennium rollover, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said on Tuesday.

CONSPIRACY TO DEFAME THE RIGHT By Dr. Aaron Lerner ( November 19, 1995) Will the news that Yitzhak Rabin OBM's own secret service was behind the most inflammatory activity associated with the Nationalist camp stop the international campaign to defame the Right? Only time will tell. So far we know that the head of the extreme Right Wing organization, Ayal, Avishai Raviv, was an agent of the GSS ("Shabak"). Last week Rabbi Bennie Alon first made the charge public. By Sunday all the papers confirmed the story. The 19 November issue of "Haaretz" reports that "Security sources said last night ...

As President Clinton focuses on his foreign policy legacy, he seems oblivious to rank onions growing right in America's back yard "south of the border." In Latin America, historic home of the Monroe Doctrine and once regarded as the sphere of greatest United States strategic interest, several key aspects of Clinton foreign policy are "going south." That's the essence of a "decision brief" just issued by the Center for Security Policy, an independent Washington think tank that keeps a close, critical eye on national-security developments. The Center blamed Clinton for ignoring the Monroe Doctrine of keeping other nations' hands off ...
