House action was 301 to 101 to override, a margin well above two thirds, with a July 1 implementation delay and a U S standard on staff ratios for centers serving children six weeks to six years.

Drug trio shows promise against stomach cancer survival
Georgetown researchers report that a three-drug regimen of adriamycin 5 fluorouracil and mitomycin yielded responses in about half of 21 patients with advanced stomach cancer. Several patients survived 9 to 15 months, with two over 10 months, double the typical expected survival for this disease. The regimen cycles over eight weeks and may be more effective in early cases as studies expand. Stomach cancer remains a leading cause of cancer death in the United States with roughly 14 400 deaths and 22 900 new cases anticipated this year.
