tudy shows cigarette smoking
leads to colon cancer in both sexes
The Associated Press
ilding
I WASHINGTON — In the strongest evidence yet,
tkvo studies involving more than 150,000 people
show that cigarette smoking can lead to colon cancer
in both men and women.
I The parallel studies to be published on Wednes
day in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute
also found that early smoking apparently fixes for
life the risk of colon-rectal cancer, even if the smok
ing habit is dropped.
I "With colon cancer, if you smoke in your 20s, that
|risk stays with you," said Dr. Edward Giovannucci
of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, the
■banning Laboratory and the Harvard School of
Public Health.
"Even if you stop at age 40, you'll still be at
greater risk."
The risk is also "dose related," he said. "The more
you smoke, the more the risk."
Other studies show that stopping cigarette smok
ing at any age, however, does lower the risk of heart
disease, lung cancer and other disorders, said Gio
vannucci.
The colon cancer conclusions are based on a Har
vard School of Public Health study of 47,935 men
and a Brigham and Women's study of 118,334
women.
Both studies used questionnaires to determine the
smoking history of the participants and then related
that to the rate of colon-rectal cancer in the groups.
Clinton names
Boston lawyer
civil rights chief
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - President
Clinton today named Boston
lawyer Deval Patrick to be the na
tion's chief civil rights enforcer,
filling a spot left vacant for
months after the withdrawal of
Lani Guinier. Wasting no time,
conservatives called Patrick "a
stealth Guinier."
"He understands the law is a
tool to help real people with real
problems," Clinton said in an
Oval Office announcement,
flanked by Attorney General Janet
Reno and Vice President A1 Gore.
Saying the Justice Depart
ment's civil rights division has
protected civil liberties for "tens
of millions of Americans," Clin
ton said, "There is still much
more to be done. We need a
strong and aggressive civil rights
division and a compassionate ad
vocate for freedom and fairness at
the helm of that division."
Patrick, a native of Chicago's
rough South Side, brought his
children to the ceremony. "I am
humbled," he said.
Conservatives denounced the
choice even before Clinton's an
nouncement.
"Patrick appears to be a
'stealth Guinier,"' said Clint Bol-
ick, vice president of the Institute
for Justice. "He has no paper trail,
but is part of the same pro-quota
chorus that produced Lani
Guinier," Clinton's first nominee
as assistant attorney general in
charge of the Justice Depart
ments civil rights division.
Drawing fire from some black
leaders, Clinton abruptly with
drew Guinier's nomination in
June, saying he was surprised by
the liberal bent to some of her
writings on racial politics. The
post has been vacant since Clin
ton took office.
The attack Monday by Bolick,
who led the conservative charge
against Guinier, brought adminis
tration backers to the Patrick's de
fense.

WASHINGTON - President
Clinton cautioned against mere
tinkering with America's health
care system Tuesday and insist
ed he would settle for nothing
less than guaranteed insurance
for all.
■ His chief Republican critic
held out new hope for compro-
Rse.
■ After back-and-forth appear
and Liv®:# ces by Clinton and Senate Mi-
vrun,Axis! n 9 r ity Leader Bob Dole before
He nation's governors and the
American Hospital Association,
R Mon presided sa jd he came away
Magaz i encouraged about prospects for
■gs, Mode® reform.
pace ■ "You seem to have a leaven-
(1 a 24 W % effect on the political rhetoric
of the nation's capital," Clinton
told members of the National
Governors Association.
1' Dole, speaking just before
Clinton, told the governors they
Hnay have laid out a framework
for the rest of us to rally around
and talk about."
| He was referring to the gover
nors' newly minted "call to ac
tion" on health care. It stops short
of some of Clinton's goals, but in-
f your if* eludes a GOP concession that em-

ral
ployers be required to make cov
erage available to workers.
Dole seemed intent on keeping
Republicans involved in the de
bate, telling his party, "We're go
ing to be up in the bleachers when
the parade goes by unless we get
our people together," the Kansan
said.
As Congress continues hear
ings on health care, he added,
"We may be able to resolve some
of these issues that look impossi
ble now because we have just got
ten started."
Dole repeated Republican op
position to Clinton's proposal that
employers be required to pay at
least 80 percent of their workers'
health-care premiums.
Clinton countered, "I still be
lieve in the requirement for em
ployers to cover their employees."
The president, in two speeches
that nearly exhausted his voice,
affirmed his State of the Union de
claration that universal coverage
must be a part of any health-care
plan.
"We have to do it now," he
told the hospital executives.
"And what we have to do in
cludes providing guaranteed pri
vate insurance to every single
American."
