Controversy Over Animal Welfare Review Panel Seen at Army Lab
The removal of a California Letterman Army Institute of Research panel member sparks questions about animal sponsorship research and how tax funds are used. Jan Polon, an occupational therapist and the lone public critic, says she was dismissed after sending two letters criticizing review time and a greyhound protocol. In Brookline Mass a separate AP report notes teens taking the college boards include many under 14, with 35 percent of 250000 students aged 12 or 13.

Communists Dissolve Party and Create Two New Ones
In Warsaw the 41 year old Communist Party dissolved as reformers backed by Solidarity formed a Social Democracy of the Republic of Poland. A faction led by Tadeusz Fiszbach launched another party to avoid lingering old regime ties. The move follows moves in Hungary as Poland pursues democratic reforms across the bloc. The main body approved the split by a large margin and outlined a platform favoring human rights and a market economy with some private ownership.
