Border Patrol abuses cited by Human Rights Watch
Human Rights Watch Americas accuses Border Patrol agents of beatings shootings rapes and deaths of people entering the United States from Mexico. The report Kiss Crossing the Line says INS provides little oversight and calls for independent review. Justice officials dispute the claims noting complaints are taken seriously. The study, based on a July fact finding along the southwestern border, criticizes the Clinton administration for abdication of reform.

Fruits and vegetables cut stroke risk in middle aged men
A 20 year study of 832 men aged 45 to 65 in Framingham shows higher fruit and vegetable intake linked to lower stroke risk. Lead author Dr. Matthew Gillman cites a 20 percent risk drop per three daily servings. 73 strokes and 24 mini strokes occurred. Critics note diet data rely on memory and call the finding unproven.
