Tower faces nation, refuses to withdraw WASHINGTON (AP) — John Tower on Sunday reiterated his pledge to stop drinking if confirmed as secretary of defense, but said he saw no reason to do so otherwise and accused his detractors of “hypoc risy.” Tower also drew a distinction be tween the past “excessive” drinking he has admitted to and an alcohol “abuse” problem that would disqual ify him for sensitive military posi tions. At any rate, Tower maintained that such judgments are made by a military person’s commanding offi cer and that, in his case, President Bush is his commanding officer. Appearing on the CBS-TV inter view program “Face the Nation,” Tower also restated his determin ation not to ask that his nomination be withdrawn. He argued that Bush <lid not want him to and that the controversy over his selection has es calated beyond consideration of his own personal qualifications. “I still have a sip of wine now and again,” Tower responded when asked whether he had stopped drinking since pledging a week ago to do so if confirmed. “Once con firmed, I will give it up altogether.” Asked why he did not stop drink ing immediately as “an act of good faith,” Tower responded: “Well, why should I? Why should I? It is so little that it doesn’t really matter. One reason I can give it up, and give it up easily, is because it doesn’t really matter that much.” Tower said he had no plans to withdraw his name from nomination and would relish a chance to defend himself on the Senate fioor . Treatment works on mice with muscular dystrophy NEW YORK (AP) — An experi mental treatment for the most se vere form of muscular dystrophy has worked in two new studies in mice, and tests in human patients may begin this summer, scientists said. “This is the most exciting ap proach for human therapy that, in my opinion, has ever come along,” declared Donald Wood, director of research for the Muscular Dystro phy Association. “We basically have the first step toward a potential to do therapeut ics,” said Louis Kunkel, co-author of one of the studies. “It looks prom ising.” The mice belonged to a strain that lacks a protein called dystrophin in the muscles. In humans, that defect causes Duchenne muscular dystro phy, the most common and severe form of dystrophy. After the mice were treated, por tions of muscle began to produce the protein. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder that strikes boys almost exclusively, appearing in about one in every 3,500 male babies in the United States. It causes a pro gressive weakening and wasting of voluntary muscles. Most patients must use wheelchairs by age 12, and most die in their early 20s. Scientists from several nations will meet in June to discuss prospects for testing the approach in human pa tients, Wood said. He said prelimi nary experiments in a limited num ber of patients might begin this summer. Those studies, focusing on single muscles or a few muscles, could lead to larger human studies. It is too early to say when the experimental procedure could be made widely available, Wood said.
