Hostages may be near rele ase
British ambassador crosses to Moslem West Beiiui
Mi
S\N
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Radio and press
reports Thursday said the release of two British
hostages might be imminent, and British Ambas
sador Allan Ramsay crossed into Moslem West
Beirut.
After Ramsay’s return to the British Embassy,
in the Christian sector of the divided capital, an
embassy official said, “We have no additional in
formation.”
Asked whether a hostage release was expected,
he said, “All I can tell you is that we’re not on
alert.” The official spoke on condition of ano
nymity.
Earlier, when asked by telephone if his trip
was linked to the press reports, Ramsay said from
the British consular office in the Moslem sector:
“I often come to West Beirut and there’s nothing
significant in my current visit.”
An embassy spokesman had said the purpose
of Ramsay’s journey was to check the reports.
The British Embassy and Ramsay’s residence
are in East Beirut. Most hostages are believed
held in West Beirut’s Shiite Moslem slums.
The reports said kidnapped British journalist
John McCarthy and teacher Brian Keenan, who
has Irish and British citizenship, could be freed
within days.
Patrick McCabe, who is Ireland’s ambassador
to Lebanon but is based in Iraq, said he would fly
to Beirut immediately to investigate.
McCarthy and Keenan are among 15 foreign
ers, including two more Britons and nine Ameri
cans, missing in Lebanon. Held longest is Terry
A. Anderson, chief Middle East correspondent
of the Associated Press, who was abducted Mart
16, 1985.
One of the other Britons is Terry Waite
Church of England envoy who disappeared]):
20, 1987, after leaving his West Beirut hotel;:
negotiate with people holding American he
tages.
Most of the foreigners are believed to beta;
tives of Shiite extremists loyal to Iran, but nob
tion has claimed to hold Waite or McCarthy
Keenan, who were seized in April 1986.
Reports of the possible release came from
Voice of Lebanon, a Christian radio station,
Al-Hayat, an Arabic-language newspaper
lished in London. The paper spoke of
cussions under way between Iran and countr)
involved” about freeing Keenan and McCarthy

Texas, tl

night that a
ish a good c
Bundy tape reveals location
of victims in Colorado, Utah
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Se
rial killer Ted Bundy, in a tape re
cording made 45 minutes before his
execution and released by Florida’s
governor on Thursday, disclosed
where he left the bodies of two vic
tims in Colorado and Utah.
Bundy’s final confession came in a
five-minute conversation with Flor
ida State Prison Warden Thomas
Barton at 6:15 a.m. Tuesday, Jon
Peck, spokesman for Gov. Bob Mar
tinez, told the Associated Press.
Although he didn’t know the
identity of his Utah victim, Bundy
said he believed the Colorado Victim
•was Denise Oliverson, 24, last seen
riding her bicycle in April 1975 near
her Grand Junction home.
Using a map, Bundy gave direc
tions to the sites where he left his vic
tims. His memory of the Utah victim
was detailed, telling investigators to
look for a dirt road between Price
and Green River, Utah.
“About 200 yards in on the dirt
road . . . and to the left, maybe 50
yards, there’s the remains of a young
woman who disappeared from Brig
ham Young University in June of
1975,” Bundy said.
“And that’s as close as I can get it.
. . with the map and with what we
have here,” said Bundy, who said he
did not know the name of his victim.
Bundy had been suspected in the
death of Susan Curtis, 15, who was
attending a youth conference at
Brigham Young University when
she disappeared in June 1975,
according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
Bundy, 42, also directed another
confession to Colorado detectives
about the killing of Oliverson.
“I believe the date was in April
1975,” Bundy said. “The young
woman’s body would have been
placed in the Colorado River five
miles west of Grand Junction. It was
not buried.”
“That’s all the ones that I can help
you with,” Bundy said. “The ones
that I know about. No missing ones
outstanding that we haven’t talked
about.”
Barton then continued with more
queries from investigators in several
other areas where Bundy was sus
pected in killing young women.
“Ted, I have some inquiries from
Illinois and New Jersey,” said Bar
ton.
“Well, let’s just deal with whatever
is outstanding like that,” said Bundy.
“I can say without any question that
there is no, uh, nothing for instance,
that I was involved in Illinois or New
Jersey.”
Barton asked: “How about Bur
lington, Vermont. Vermont?"
“No,” said Bundy.
“Nothing there?” Barton said.
“No,” answered Bundy.
“Texas?” asked Barton.
“No,” Bundy replied.
“Miami?” quizzed Barton.
“No .. . no,” Bundy said.
“Okay, that’s all we’ve got,” said
Barton. “Okay, Ted. Thank you.”
Bundy quiety answered, “You’re
welcome.”
Rest home residents endangered
by tranquilizer use, study says
NEW YORK (AP) — Powerful tranquilizers with po
tentially dangerous side effects are being widely given
to elderly people in rest homes, often by untrained
aides without medical supervision, a study concludes.
Such drugs are available only through a doctor’s pre
scription, but many patients continue to be given the
drugs months or years after examination by a doctor,
the study’s principal author said Wednesday.
“It may well be that when they first started getting
the stuff they needed it,” said Dr. Jerry Avorn of the
Beth Israel Hospital and Harvard Medical School in
Boston. “It may be that some people still need it.”
But without follow-up examinations, there is no as
surance that the drugs are being used properly, he said.
Drugs like Thorazine and Haldol, which are meant
to treat psychotic patients, can cause a disfiguring and
sometimes irreversible problem called tardive dyskine
sia, in which patients develop uncontrollable facial
twitches.
Avorn found that use of the drugs is not limited to
treatment of psychotics.
“Sometimes they are used as sedatives, and that’s not
a good idea, because they will have side effects that out
weigh their advantages,” Avorn said.
Too high a dose of the drugs can increase confusion
and lethargy, thereby raising the chances that patients
will fall and injure themselves, Avorn said.
“If you oversedate a person, you are quite likely to
put them at risk of a fall that can lead to considerable
disability or death,” he said.
Twenty percent of elderly people who tracture their
hips, for example, will die within one year, Avorn said.
Avorn, with Stephen B. Soumerai of Harvard and
Paul Dreyer and Kathleen Connelly of the Massachu
setts Department of Public Health, surveyed 55 rest
homes in Massachusetts. These are institutions for the
care of elderly people not sick enough to be in nursing
homes but too frail to live on their own, Avorn said.
The researchers found that 55 percent of the 1,201
residents were taking at least one psychiatric drug, and
39 percent were taking so-called major tranquilizers
such as Thorazine and Haldol.
In a further study of 837 residents at 44 nursing
homes, the researchers found that about half had ap
parently not seen a doctor for evaluation of their men
tal health for at least a year.
One-third of the residents did poorly on standard
tests of mental function.
“It certainly raises the question of whether the medi
cation might contribute in part to this lack of ability,”
Avorn said.
Six percent of the residents had moderate to severe
cases of tardive dyskinesia.
The findings will appear Thursday in the New En
gland Journal of Medicine.
Dr. Stanley Slater, director of the geriatric research
and training program at the National Institute on Ag
ing in Bethesda, Md., said Avorn’s study “is not surpris
ing, but of course it’s a concern.”
“Places for the care of the institutionalized elderly
are constrained by a lack of resources, so that most of
the care comes from nonprofessionals,” Slater said.
“The people who provide the care are often minimum-
wage employees.”
Avorn said that although the survey was limited to
rest homes in Massachusetts, the findings are probably
typical of what’s happening elsewhere. “We are pretty
representative of this level of care around the country,”
he said.
Avorn and his colleagues in December reported on a
similar misuse of mood-altering drugs in nursing
homes.

While at Fish Camp, an orienta
tion camp for A&M freshman, Mar
tin ran into a girl with whom he he
attended high school in Italy. Since
then, Martin said he has seen 11
people at A&M with whom he went
to high school in Italy.
“Chances are greater each time
that you’ll run into people you
know,” he said.
Aggieland Editor Cindy Milton, a
senior journalism major and the
daughter of a U.S. Army colonel,
said children of military personnel
often group together because they
can relate to one another and what
each had to go through.
Milton said she met her fiance, Al
lan Hess, a senior aerospace engi
neering major at A&M, while visit
ing her family in South Korea the
summer before her sophomore year
at A&M.
While both Milton and Hess’ fa
ther were stationed in South Korea,
their families lived across the street
from each other, she said.
Though Hess was a fellow Aggie,
Milton said she avoided meeting him
because she didn’t like “Corps
turds.”
After some coaxing from her
mother, Milton and Hess made their
first date to visit the demilitarized
zone — the dividing line between
North and South Korea.
Although her relocation experi
ences led to a happy ending, Milton
said she hated moving as a child.
“It took me about 15 years to ap
preciate it,” she said.
Milton’s family has lived in Iran,
Turkey, Missouri and Nebraska.
Milton said moving to Turkey
from Copperas Cove where she was
on the school swim team and had
made many friends, was among the
most difficult moves she ever had to
make.
Milton said she missed luxuries
such as fast food and American tele
vision while living in Turkey.
“When you hear John Wayne
speaking in Turkish, the effect is just
not the same,” she said.
Milton’s family was living in Tur
key when the government imposed
martial law. For their safety, her
family was instructed to stay in their
apartment for nearly two davs bv the
American military police.
Milton said living in Turkey made
her realize how much Americans
take for granted.
“You don’t appreciate anything
until you see how much you have he
re,” she said.
It was common to see people who
had gangrene or rickets, a nutritio
nal disease, on the streets, she said.
Many people, comparing Ameri
cans with the rich J.R. Ewing stereo
type they saw on television, would
ask her and her family if they were
movie stars, she said.
Milton’s experiences have instilled
in her an interest in travel and meet
ing people from different cultures.
“I want to keep traveling,” she
said. “I’ve been spoiled. A lot of peo
ple can’t imagine it, but it’s all I’ve
ever known.”
While many children of military
personnel feel that moving to the
wide variety of places they lived was
a valuable experience, they often ac
knowledge that this perspective was
absent during their childhood.
