'Health gap' separates
WASHINGTON -- A significant "health gap"
continues to exist between whites and blacks,
despite the fact that Americans are generally
healthier than they were 30 years, doctors and
health activists said a recent two-day meeting of the
Congressional Black Caucus Brain trust.
Highlighting the gap, medical authorities said a
black baby is twice as likely as a white baby to die
before its first birthday; the average life expectancy
of a black person is 68 years, compared with 74
years for whites; black women are 2.5 times more
likely to die from diabetes as white women; black
men are seven times more likely to be murdered
than white men and have a greater chance of dying
from cancer and heart disease and that some
therapies used to treat patients are less effective on
Tenants won't be evic
A company managing the Goler Metropolitan
Apartments has canceled eviction notices for 15
families after an attorney for the Legal Aid Society
of Northwest No^th Carolina threatened to sue.
Last month, the Atlanta-based First Columbia
Management Corp.-lotd tenants that families with _
more tnan one child per oedroom would nave to
leave. The corporation said the policy was proposed
to prevent overcrowding.
But legal aid attorneys told the company that
unless the letters of eviction were rescinded, legal
aid lawyers would file suit. A spokesman for the
group said the tenants could not be evicted unless
they had done something wrong.
