Morris-Baker (282-1521) Alcohol adds to cancer risk The Associated Press CHICAGO Women who drank two to five alcoholic drinks daily had a 41 percent greater risk of developing breast cancer than women who did not drink, a new analysis that combined sev: eral studies has found.
The study, which confirmed earlier findings. found that breast-cancer risk increased proportionately with increases in alcohol intake. Each daily drink was associated with about a 9 percent increase in risk of breast cancer, the researchers reported in today's issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. The link existed whether the drink was beer, wine or hard liquor, said the researchers, led by Stephanie Smith-Warner, a research fellow in nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health. "Our study suggests that the link between alcohol and breastcancer risk applies to most women," Ms.
Smith- Warner said in a statement. "Consequently, women should weigh the risks of alcohol consumption against other potential benefits." For instance, one to two drinks has been shown to protect against heart disease, but women can do other things to protect their heart and blood vessels, such as exercising, maintaining a desirable weight and taking aspirin, the researchers noted. Many heart experts believe that quitting smoking is the most important step a woman can take to prevent heart disease. The researchers encouraged women weighing the risks and benefits of alcohol to consult their physicians, The investigators pooled data from six studies that included 200 breast-cancer cases from Canada, the Netherlands, the United States and Sweden. Follow-up periods for women in the studies varied from three to seven years, over which time the comparison in risks for drinkers vs.
nondrinkers were made. Hepatitis You Can Help Us Help Others EARN EXTRA INCOME Have you ever had Hepatitis? Do have Hepatitis? Have you been in contact with anyone who has had Hepatitis?

More than 6.5 billion miles from home, a U.S. spacecraft carrying the sounds of a human kiss and the best wishes from a former president has become the most distant man-made object in the universe.
Voyager 1 so far away after more than 20 years hurtling through space that its signals take more than hours to reach Earth surpassed the distance of the older Pioneer 10 spacecraft by midday Tuesday. "Now the baton is being passed," Edward Stone, director of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Voyager project director, said in a Voyager 1 and the elderly Pioneer 10 are headed away from the sun in nearly opposite directions. Both 'are powered by nuclear batteries that keep them functioning in the freezing blackness of space. On the edge of the solar system, Voyager 1 still returns data, although the power of the signal reaching NASA antennas is 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery. Voyager 1 was launched from Cape Canaveral, on Sept.
5, 1977, carrying scientific instruments for planetary exploration and a message to the universe. The latter is a 12-inch gold-plated phonograph record containing a variety of sounds, 115 analog images, spoken greetings in 55 languages, printed messages from former President Jimmy Carter and Secretary General Kurt Waldheim and a selection of music. The sounds include wind, rain, surf, a chimpanzee, a Saturn 5 rocket, footsteps, a heartbeat, laughter, a mother's kiss and a blacksmith, among others. The images range from the structure of DNA to a diagram of continental drift and a violin with sheet music. The record was assembled by a committee that was headed by the late astronomer Carl Sagan.
Voyager 1 passed by Jupiter on March 5, 1979 and Saturn on Nov. 12, 1980. Saturn's big moon, Titan, bent the trajectory northward out of the plane of the ecliptic, the plane in which all the planets except Pluto orbit the sun. Pioneer 10 was launched on March 2, 1972. Its mission officially ended on March 31.
1997, but seience data is occasionally sent to Earth in a training program for flight controllers. Barring breakdowns, Voyager I is expected to have enough electricity and propellant to operate until about 2020. By then, the spacecraft will be almost 14 billion miles from Earth. Coalition plans to recruit 'liaisons' HOME By Ron Fournier AP -Political Writer WASHINGTON Emboldened by the defeat of a gay-rights. law in Maine, the Christian Coalition plans to recruit 100,000 "church liaisons" to help push the.
group's agenda in all 50 states. The new plan, part of a "Families 2000" strategy being unveiled Wednesday, borrows from the coalition's success last week in Maine. The coalition said it worked with 900 churches to pass the ballot initiative, adding 77,000 new households to its mailing list. Under the new strategy, volunteer activists would be tapped by the coalition to coordinate activities between churches and local coalition chapters. The coalition will publish a menu of issues around which these newly constituted local entities could rally.
The list includes state bans on certain late-term abortions, p*rnography restrictions, opposition to legalized gambling initiatives and any measures that give special rights based on sexual behavior. The last item is a reference to the Maine referendum, when voters decided, 51 percent to 49 percent, to repeal a new law that would have barred discrimination PICTURE FRAMING QUALITY WORK BEST PRICES FAST SERVICE DISCOUNT ART SUPPLIES OILS WATERCOLORS PAPER ACRYLICS CANVAS BRUSHES J.C.

However, David Smith.
a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay political group, said the coalition is making a mistake by trying to duplicate its success in Maine. "I think it is a complete misreading of the results in this election in Maine if they think those totals give them a mandate nationally," Smith said. "Polls show that Americans are opposed to discrimination against people based on sexual orientation. Any attempt to achieve the same results in other states would backfire." But coalition officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the new strategy reflects the fact that churches are. becoming an efficient way to reach voters in an age of suburban sprawl.
