Jackson tells of drug dependency DOVER, N.H. - Democratic presidential candidate Jesse Jack- son told patients at a drug-rehabili tation center that he was briefly dependent on a painkiller while recovering from a football injury in college. Jackson, who often delivers a stirring anti-drug speech to young people, recalled that he once con sidered stealing a bracelet from his mother to buy more of the drug. "Why am I so sympathetic and empaihetic?" Jackson asked about 85 patients at Seaborne Hospital on Sunday night. "Because I was trapped for a moment myself.” The audience chuckled as he talked of being in the "twilight zone” because of painkillers he received while hospitalized for a injury he said he suffered dur ing a football game in his sopho more year in college. Jackson recalled telling his doc- tw, "Damn, doc, right on. What is this stuff? I want some more of this." Jackson did not specify what painkiller had been prescribed for him or how long he took it He said he became increasingly depen dent on the pain reliever while he remained hospitalized, and that he considered stealing a bracelet from his mother to buy more of the drug after he left the hospital. "I've cried many times from the thought of stealing from my moth er," said Jackson. He said drugs attack the mind, and "When you lose your mind, everything else goes." Jackson, who received a warm response from the patients, did not say how he overcame the depen dence. Tabatha able to eat PITTSBURGH - Tabatha Foster has been able to avoid infection, and there is no sign that her body is rejecting the five organs she received during transplant surgery more than two months ago. The 3-year-old Madisonville, Ky., girl is still learning to live with the transplanted organs. She is also learning how to eat. Thbaiha, bom with an intestinal defect, has always received nutri tion through tubes mnning into her bloodstream and stomach. She has underdeveloped taste buds and has never experienced hunger. Her doctors at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh now monitor every thing she eats and excretes; so far. they're pleased with what they've found. The new liver, pancreas and small intestine she received Nov. 1, along-with parts of a stomach and colon, appear to be woricing. Tabatha is working loo. Nearly every day, she kicks balls in her hospital room, giggles at "Sesame Street" and engages strangers in her favorite game of peekaboo. "She’s quite a personality," nurse Marianne Stewart told a Louisville Courier-Journal reporter on a visit to Tabatha. "She's not a whiner or complainer. She's very coopera tive." Doctors had ruled out transplant ing only a liver into Tabatha because her original liver had been damaged through the intravenous feeding solution that had kept her alive. A new liver would eventual ly be destroyed by the same solu tion. Dr. Marc Rowe, the hospital's chief of pediatric surgery, and Dr. Thomas Slarzl, considered the world’s foremost liver surgeon, decided the girl's only chance was to replace her intestines along with her liver, in the hope lhat she would someday be able to absorb nutri ents by eating. The other organs were added because it is technically simpler if they are replaced as a unit. No other patient with such a multiple transplant has survived as long as Tkbaiha has. Now Rowe is trying to discover what foods Tabatha’s intestines can tolerate and how successfully they absorb nutrients. Since the organs came from a 2-month-old child.

Neither party would disclose the exact amount. _ The company agreed to pro vide the EEOC with reports on its hiring practices. _ The company agreed to use the state Employment Security Com mission in recruiting its employ- _ The company agreed to get outside training in interviewing and hiring techniques so company officials would be familiar with equal-opportunity requirements. The EEOC will monitor the train ing, Meuser said. Pepsi has made several changes since the suit was filed, Meuser said. "(Black) helpers have been pro moted to drivers," Meuser said. "The atmosphere is entirely differ ent, I'm told." The Pepsi employee who brought the complaint to the EEOC, Michael K. Smith, was killed in a car accident in May 1987. But his mother will collect some money as part of the settlement. Drugs in East Winston From Page A1 ihe area, but that stopping the flow of illegal drugs in the Liberty area is a big problem. 'T don't care how often you tell someone lhat drugs are bad for ^em...they're still going to contin ue to do it. There's money in it, as long as there is money in it, you can’t convince a kid that it is '^ong. As soon as you bust a con nection there, two or three people nre trying to pick up the slack," he said. Besides sending patrol cars trough the area, foot patrols have become more prevalent, said Moreau. But many times the police officers efforts are thwarted i^y community residents, he said. , A lot of die neighbors report Said Moreau. "But a lot of peo ple are neutral to it and actually pass on information that we are coming." lo addition to the police eparimeni's efforts to combat the ' legal narcotic sales, community political leaders and residents have become more involved. Among the police department allies is Alderman Vivian Burke, who has met with police officials about the drug problem after listen ing to complaints from residents. Burke said that she has met with residents to discuss the sale of drugs in their neighborhoods. "We've had different neighbor hood meetings in different loca tions," said Burke. "We've uied to get them involved to move the drugs out." One idea that came from the meetings was to pul signs up where narcotics are known to be sold designating those places as "drug watch areas." "It's a good idea," said Burke. "It’s a way to awaken people lhat drugs are in your area. Hopefully, we’ll run them away." Burke said the police depart ment liked lhat idea. "When you can have people in your area present something and it’s accepted by the police depart ment, it really clears out lhat area for a while." However, while police enforcement, signs and community in\’olvcment clean up an area for a while, they only send the drug pushers to another location, fol lowed by their customers, said the Rev. Moses A. Small, who runs the Home of Hope drug counseling center downtown. "Every time you make the drug pushers move you are helping them," said Small. "When he moves, his customers follow him and he also picks up new cus tomers.” Small said lhat the only way to stop the drug pushers is to target the drug users. He urges residents to report the drug users to the police department to deter them from buying drugs. "If nobody buys drugs from these people, they'll move," said Small. they need to develop before they can digest much. The results have been mixed. Tabatha will cat baby formula and rice cereal, and she seems to like yogurt. Less successful have been ice cream, peaches and oatmeal. This week Rowe tried a mixture of bulk wheat cereal with apples. Tabatha flatly rejected the mud-like mixture, and when Rowe saw it the next day, he agreed: "I wouldn't have eaten the stuff myself." Rowe said he does not want to push the child to eat, because she may associate the activity with hos pital treatment and not daily life. He has asked her parents, Sandy and Roy Foster, to eat in her pres ence and might set up family din ners in Tabatha’s hospital room. Rowe does not know what Tabatha’s future holds but said he would not have proceeded with the operation if he did not think it could succeed. "I’d like to see her go to college and get married," he said but added, "We have to realize we're doing the same thing some very intelligent and smart people have tried and failed."
