AT IO INI Wednesday • April 12, Project improves Americans’ healti □ The Healthy People 2000 campaign has made progress against heart disease, cancer and stroke. WASHINGTON (AP) — A program to improve Americans’ health is making progress against the killer diseases but is faltering in caring for the poor, reducing teen pregnancy and persuading couch potatoes to start exercising. At the halfway point in a decade-long campaign called Healthy People 2000, federal of ficials said Tuesday the project is showing mixed results and may require increased efforts to achieve goals set in 1990. “We have good news but not good enough,” said Dr. J. Michael McGinnis of the U.S. Public Health Service, which is coordi nating the national program. McGinnis said that deaths from heart disease, cancer and stroke are all moving down at a pace that will achieve the target values by 2000. But the rates of obesity, teen pregnancy, homi cides and pneumonia and in fluenza deaths are actually worse than five years ago. Also getting worse, McGinnis said at a news conference, are ef forts to provide disease preven tive medical care for the poor. “We are failing to close the gap between the rich and poor in health care,” said McGinnis. "We are failing to close the gap between rich and poor in health care." - Dr. J. Michael McGinnis, U.S. Public Health Service Financial barriers to preventive services existed in 16 states at the beginning of the program and now exist in 17 states, the report said. Healthy People 2000 is an effort by the PHS, state health departments, professional or ganizations and voluntary or ganizations to systematically promote healthful habits and good medical care. Among the improvements: —Life expectancy for Amei- cans at a record 75.8 years.

As a mediocre student at an obscure community col lege, that would have seemed a long shot. But Grammer managed to get in anyway. Two years later, he was a month away from picking up an Ivy League diploma when police picked him up instead. The 25-year-old man was expelled, and Yale is pressing larceny charges, saying he stole two years’ worth of a high-priced education from the school and the government. He owes $61,475 in grants and loans, authorities said. Grammer arrived at Yale in 1993, transferring from Cuesta Community College in San Luis Obis po, Calif., where transcripts showed he had com piled nearly a straight-A average. He also presented Yale with an outstanding recommendation from Cuesta’s dean of students and favorable letters from a political science professor and science instructor. But the grades were doctored, some of the rec ommendations were from people who didn’t exist and those who do exist say they never wrote them, according to court papers. Cuesta’s records show his real grade-point av erage was a C, and his high school in Concord Calif., told Yale that his transcripts, test scores and letter from the principal were fakes. Grammer was caught when a detective fror the Lebanon, N.H., police department contacte: campus police about a forged driver’s license ani registration on a leased Jeep. Some students said they weren’t surprised by the turn of events, noting Crammer’s background seemed shady. Among other things, he claimed he had played minor-league baseball and was related to actor Kelsey Grammer.
