Injecting steroids
into premature
infants may save
lives, panel says
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Injecting
steroids into mothers giving
birth prematurely could save
7,000 infants a year and at least
$157 million in health care costs,
a National Institutes of Health
panel said Wednesday.
The committee said all women
at 24 to 34 weeks of pregnancy
who show signs of a threatened
premature birth are candidates
for the therapy.
Doctors have been reluctant to
use the corticosteroid treatment
because of worries about side ef
fects. The committee said risks
from the drug are much less than
the lethal complications often
caused by prematurity.
Corticosteroids used in the
procedure are synthetic forms of a
hormone normally produced by
the adrenal gland. Studies have
shown that when injected into a
birthing mother, the hormone is
carried to the fetus where it accel
erates development of blood ves
sels and lungs of the unborn.
About 100,000 premature ba
bies are born annually in the Unit
ed States and about a third of
them die. The most lethal compli
cations are respiratory distress,
caused by immature lungs at
tempting to breath, and bleeding
in the brain. Using the corticos
teroid therapy will save about
half the threatened premature in
fants with these conditions, the
panel said.
Dr. Duane Alexander, director
of the National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development,
said widespread use of the corti
costeroid therapy would save the
lives of 6,000 to 7,000 premature
babies a year.
The committee said it found no
convincing evidence that the cor
ticosteroids harmed either mother
or child.

FBI considered using 'mind control' on Koresh
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Federal agents toyed with
the idea of using a Russian "mind control" de
vice to try and influence David Koresh during
the standoff at the Branch Davidian com
pound, the Village Voice reported.
In its March 8 editions, the weekly newspa
per quotes Steven Killion, deputy chief of the
FBI's technical services division, as saying he
considered trying to control Koresh's actions
with "subliminal" messages as they negotiated
by telephone.
Killion dropped the idea after the makers of
the device said it possibly could have the re
verse effect of making Koresh more violent,
the paper said.
Several weeks before Koresh and 78 follow
ers died in a fire that destroyed their Waco,
Texas compound, scientists from the Moscow
Medical Academy demonstrated their device
to U.S. intelligence, military and Hw enforce
ment officials at a Washington conference on
futuristic weapons, the Voice said.
During the meeting, Killion said he wanted
to use the device on Koresh.
"In the normal course of your negotiation
with the individual by telephone, you can im
press a coded message. It is not realized con
sciously by the subject, but subconsciously,
subliminally, they understand it," Killion said.
The paper quoted Dr. Igor Smirnov, who
demonstrated the device, as saying he had
brought only "entry level" equipment to
show. After the FBI offered to have a working
version brought to the United States, Smirnov
conceded that it might not function as hoped,
the paper said.
The Voice did not say how the device was
supposed to work.
The 51-day standoff began after four federal
agents and six Davidians were killed as authori
ties tried to arrest Koresh on weapons charges.
Eleven surviving Davidians were put on trial; all
were acquitted Saturday of murder and murder
conspiracy. Five were convicted of involuntary
manslaughter and two of weapons charges.

said Tipton, who said he's now
just an employee at Summer Sky.
"This is an information line if
people want to ask questions, but
if they want a counselor they get
put through to a counselor."
Tipton said the hotline re
ceived a "flat rate" from Summer
Sky, but that the rate didn't fluc
tuate depending on referrals.
Summer Sky executive direc
tor Cathern Brooks said she
knew nothing about the lawsuit
and wouldn't discuss any of the
allegations.
The suit alleges that Summer
Sky provided payments to a pri
vate doctor, David C. Boucher of
Stephenville, to justify the pa
tients' admissions. Boucher
didn't immediately return a mes
sage left at his office by The As
sociated Press.
Morales accused Summer Sky
of violating the Texas Health and
Safety Code by paying fees to
headhunters, and failing to dis
close its relationship with the
hotline to prospective patients.
In the other lawsuit. Morales
said Janet Greeson of A Place
For Us of Houston ran a tele
marketing scheme aimed at
overweight people.
Greeson's national marketing
company encouraged people with
weight problems to call its toll-free
line, then inquired about their in
surance, according to the suit.
Those with adequate coverage
were told they needed to be hos
pitalized for their obesity prob
lems, the^suit alleges. The lawsuit
accuses Greeson of referring peo
ple to a mental hospital without a
physician's evaluation.
Greeson, reached at her home
in Los Angeles, deferred ques
tions to her attorney, Marty
Keach of Las Vegas. Keach didn't
answer messages left Wednesday
at his office by The Associated
Press.
