Teenagers
abstaining
The Battalion .
Tubularman B v Boomer Cardinale
from
sex
NEW YORK (AP) — Boys
and girls are staying virgins
longer than most adults think,
according to a new report.
The Alan Guttmacher Insti
tute said Monday that 62 per
cent of adults assume the av
erage teen has sex before
turning 16. But 70 percent of
all boys and girls are still vir
gins when they reach 16, and
18 percent abstain until at
least their 20th birthday, the
institute said.
Among girls who do have
sex before age 15, 60 percent
said they were raped or co
erced in some unspecified
manner, the institute said,
quoting a 1987 study.
Teen sex “is not as wide
spread, and does not begin as
early, as most adults believe,”
the report said.
The institute, which studies
reproductive issues and is af
filiated with Planned Parent
hood, based its report on re
search it primarily conducted
in the 1990s and the research
of others.
Among other findings:
•Two-thirds of today’s sex
ually active teens used some
type of contraception the first
time they had sex, and at
least 70 percent use contra
ception regularly.
• Adolescents account for 30
percent of out-of-wedlock
births today, compared with
50 percent in 1970.

D-Day

their wives.
Others, like
85-year-old A1
Frank of North
Miami Beach, Fla., seemed as fit as the day they
waded ashore into France 50 years ago.
“I had to come,” said Frank, who was a corporal
in the 191st Engineers Special Brigade that land
ed in the first wave. “Several of my buddies are
gone, this is the last time for me and this is for
them.”
The eve of today’s D-Day commemoration was
marked by upbeat victory-style celebrations, in
cluding a daring parachute jump Sunday by 41 el
derly U.S. veterans. The former D-Day combat
ants said they did it for their buddies.
D-Day memorial services were spread across
Normandy, bringing together leaders of all the
countries that joined the invasion: the United
States, Britain, Canada, Australia, Belgium,
Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New
Zealand, Norway, Poland, France and the Czech
Republic and Slovakia, which were the single na
tion of Czechoslovakia.
About 100,000 people were expected at the cer
emonies to mark a half century since 156,000 Al
lied troops, who crossed the English Channel
aboard thousands of ships, planes and gliders,
breached Hitler’s Atlantic Wall.
The assault, which left 10,000 Allied soldiers
dead or wounded, gained a foothold that allowed
millions of troops to pour into France and defeat
Nazi Germany 11 months later.
While German leaders were not invited to the
D-Day events, France sought to reaffirm close ties
with its former enemy in other ceremonies. Mit
terrand last week invited German troops, mem
bers of the Franco-German Eurocorps, to march
down Paris’ Champs-Elysees boulevard on
Bastille Day, July 14.
On Sunday, about 30,000 veterans, relatives,
tourists and war buffs jammed Sainte-Mere-Eglise
to watch the jumps of veterans, who were joined
by 700 active-duty paratroopers from the United
States and France.
“I’m overcome by the love of the people and the
way they greeted us,” said Harold Taylor, 74, of
Huntsville, Ala., who made his first trip back
since parachuting into town on D-Day. “I can’t say
anymore,” he said, choking with emotion.
Parachute failure sent one veteran crashing to
earth. Earl Draper of Inverness, Fla., narrowly es
caped serious injury when the cords on his main
parachute tangled. He released it and opened his
smaller emergency chute, which is harder to con
trol and makes for a rougher landing.
Multicultural
festival erupts
in rioting
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -
An annual festival celebratin|
Oakland’s multicultural identi
ty ended in a riot when hun
dreds of bottle-throwing youths
clashed with police.
At least 15 people were in
jured, including a police officer,
after a fistfight among several
teenagers escalated into a
three-hour melee Sunday
evening.
Hundreds
Flesh-eating bacteria infect two in U.S.
NORWALK, Conn. (AP) —
A rare and deadly strain of
bacteria that eats away flesh
or muscle tissue has sent two
people to the hospital.
A man and a woman, both
in their 30s, were admitted to
Norwalk Hospital last week
with virulent forms of the
streptococcus bacteria, hospi
tal spokesman Bruce Hutchin
son said Friday.
There is no known link be
tween the patients, he said.
One has the form of the dis
ease that kills flesh, called
necrotizing fasciitis. The other
has pyomyositis, which kills
muscle tissue. The man was in
critical condition Sunday and
the woman was satisfactory.
Britain’s Fhiblic Health Lab
oratory Service reported that
15 people had been diagnosed
with necrotizing fasciitis this
year and 11 of them died.
Officials from the World
Health Organization said Fri
day there is no reason to fear a
global outbreak of the bacteria.
Any increase appears to be
the result of improved moni
toring and not the start of a
major outbreak, said Dr.
James LeDuc, WHO medical
officer.
of people ran
through the streets, breaking
bottles and shattering windows
in cars and buildings, police
said.
“It was real bad,” Lt. Pete
Peterson told radio station
KCBS. “People were running,
smashing out windows, beating
innocent people. It was a full-
scale riot/’
About 200 officers, many in
riot gear, were pelted with
rocks and bottles. They used
mace and tear gas to control
the crowd. One sergeant was
treated for a minor head injury.
Gunfire was reported, but
apparently no one was hit, Offi
cer Janet Oliveira said.
Police couldn’t immediately
describe the seriousness of the
injuries and did not know the
number of arrests. KCBS said
dozens of rioters were in custo-
day.
The violence came at the end
of the 12th annual festival at
Oakland’s Lake Merritt, which
attracted an estimated 75,000
people and prompted com
plaints about rowdy crowds
from nearby residents.
