Ziegler warns
By LYNN BARFIELD
Contributing writer
Former press secretary and as
sistant to former President
Richard Nixon challenged the fu
ture pharmacists at the Univer
sity Wednesday to prepare
themselves for the change in
health care issues that will occur
during the next century.
Ronald Ziegler issued the chal
lenge during his speech for the
1990 Kenneth L. Waters Lecture
Series, sponsored by the College
of Pharmacy. He told a full Phar
macy Auditorium that although
democracy has won battles
throughout the world, the United
States will have to fight a battle
of health care problems on its
own front.
The profession of pharmacy is
not immune from the change,”
Ziegler said.
pharmacists
Ziegler stated that the primary
problem of health care in this
country is the cost containment
of medicine and treatment. “In
1995, 70 percent of all prescrip
tions will be third party gener
ated and will be paid for by
someone other than the patient,"
he said.
The "third party” might be the
federal government and its agen
cies such as Medicare and certain
welfare programs.
Ziegler mentioned briefly his
role in the Nixon years He spoke
highly of the former president
and said Nixon was a man of in
tegrity.
“No matter how disgraced a
human being can be, he shouldn’t
destroy himself — Nixon followed
this advice,” Ziegler said
Ziegler is now president and
CEO of the National Association
of Chain Drugstores Inc.
Hammond defense demands sentencing delay
ATLANTA (AP): CDC warns travelers of snail fever.' a
widespread disease known as snail fever still “poses a continuing
hazard* for American travelers to the third world, U.S. health
official* cautioned Thursday. The Atlanta-based Centers for Disease
Control r.ted two outbreaks of schistosomiasis in the pas: two years
among travelers to Africa. Twelve of 13 travelers in a group visiting
Botswana ar.d sever, of eight travelers in a group visiting the Ivor)*
Coast came down with the disease, which is transmitted from snails
in fresh water. Symptoms include fever, chills, fatigue, headache ar.d

DOUGLASVILLE (AP): Racy tree ordered taken down.
When Joe Thompson’s tree blew down, the Douglas County resident,
described by his wife as “a little bit” artistic, went to work on it. Now,
because he carved it into the shape of a male sex organ, the county-
says he has to get rid of it. “I went out and told him that it had to be
cut down before the school bus came by the next day,” said Helen
Chambers, a county code enforcement officer. “I went by the next day
and :: was cut down. Of course it’s on the ground now.” She said the
tree doesn’t violate any specific ordinances but is “a nuisance to the
community"and some residents had complained about it. Thompson’s
wife, Trace, said she didn’t know why her husband carved the tree.

WASHINGTON (AP) FDA bans all OTC prostrate drugs.
The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday it will ban the sale
of all nor.prescription drugs used to treat enlargement of the prostate
gland. The agency said its review of these products found little
evidence that any of them eliminate, arrest or treat the condition,
called benign prostatic hypertrophy. Surgery is currently the only
effective treatment, the FDA said. The condition causes enlargement
of the male gland, which can obstruct the flow of urine, create back
pressure in the kidneys and cause urinary tract infections The over-
the-counter products, which contain the amino acids glycine, alanine,
glutamic arid and a plant extract called sabal, can relieve some
symptoms of the condition. However, their use also could lull men
with the condition “into a sense of false security," which could delay
their getting proper treatment, the agency said.
COLUMBIA. S.C. (AP): Priceless newsreel recovered.
Nearly 4,000 feet of irreplaceable film on Albert Einstein that fell
from a delivery- truck last week was found and returned to the
University of South Carolina’s film library. The film was discovered
by a resident on a downtown street, along with three other packages
from the truck. The university said it was notified Wednesday. “We’re
absolutely elated to have this film back. Historically, it’s
irreplaceable," said Glenn Smith, head of the film library. The
newsreel film, which has historical value to researchers, shows the
physicist appearing at various events during the 1930s.

STROUD, England (AP): Letter delivered 56 years late.
A woman has received a postcard from her father nearly 56 years
after it was mailed, and more than 40 years after he died, the Post
Office said Thursday. Dorothy Horton, 73, of Stroud in western
England, said she instantly recognized the w-riting of her father, Bill,
on the early color postcard, dated June 20, 1934. The post card was
found behind old closeta last week during refurbishment of the Stroud
sorting office, a Post Office spokeswoman said. Mrs. Horton was then
17-year-old Dorothy Meadows, but old-timers at the sorting office
remembered the name and were able to trace her, the spokeswoman
said.

The Associateo Press
ATLANTA — The attorney for
Emmanuel Hammond, convicted in
the murder of Julie Love, de
manded Thursday that the sen
tencing phase of Hammond’s trial
be delayed because prosecutors
said they would attempt to link
Hammond to another slaying.
Hammond, a 24-year-old Mari
etta resident, was convicted of
malice murder and felony murder
Wednesday night after eight hours
of deliberations by a Fulton County-
Superior Court jury.
As the sentencing phase of his
trial was beginning Thursday, de
fense attorney William Wehunt de
manded a two-week delay.
“If they’re going to try another
murder against this man, he’s enti
tled to have witnesses,” Wehunt
told Judge Ralph Hicks. He also
asked for money to hire investiga
tors to look into the College Park
slaying of Gwendale Turner, 24, of
Villa Rica, whose body was found
Aug. 21, 1988.
Prosecutors said they intend to
show during the sentencing phase
that Hammond killed Turner, who
like Miss Love was shot once in the
head with a shotgun. Hammond
has not been charged in Turner’s
death.
Hicks did not rule on the defense
requests immediately.
Under Georgia law, prosecutors
may use any of 10 aggravating cir
cumstances in arguing for the
death penalty. No Fulton County-
jury has sent a defendant to death
row since 1984.

Miss Love, 27, of Atlanta disap
peared in July of 1988 and was the
subject of a much-publicized search
until her body was found in a
northeast Atlanta wooded
dumping ground last August. She
had been shot in the head with a
shotgun.
The trial was held amid heavy
security because a letter, claiming
responsibility for the mail bombs
that killed a federal judge in Ala
bama and a Savannah lawyer in
December, cited the Love case in
part as a reason for those slayings.
Hammond showed no emotion as
he was handcuffed and led away
after the verdict was read
Wednesday night.
Assistant District Attorney Wil
liam Hawthorne III told the jury in
his summation earlier Wednesday
that Hammond was “brute and a
beast" who would kill again.
Wehunt contended that Ham
mond’s chief accusers — his former
girlfriend, Janice Weldon, and his
cousin, Maurice Porter — killed
Miss Love and tried to frame his
client.
Miss Weldon led police to the
body. Porter pleaded guilty to
murder in the case and testified
against Hammond.
