Becks Kin Invoked Fifth Amendment 130 Times in Tax Probe
Senate Rackets Committee ordered contempt proceedings against Teamsters President Dave Becks son Dave Beck Jr and nephew by marriage Joseph McEvoy after they refused to answer questions about the unions payroll and their relations with the Teamsters. Both men invoked the Fifth Amendment repeatedly, with Beck Jr saying he might incriminate himself if he answered. The elder Beck faces broader questions as he lingers under scrutiny amid accusations of abusing power for personal enrichment.

Final Lung Cancer Data Is Startling
Final figures from a four year study of 188 000 men aged 60 to 70 show smokers have a tenfold higher risk of dying from lung cancer and a 70 percent higher risk of fatal coronary heart attacks. The report notes ex smokers cut risk.
Smoking and death risk by consumption level among men
The study reports higher all cause death rates for men by smoking intensity. Half a pack daily raises risk about 34 percent, up to a pack daily about 70 percent. lighter or intermittent smoking shows smaller increases. Quitters show varied risks versus non smokers, with former light smokers 1–10 years earlier about 30 percent higher, and lifelong smokers about double the risk. Rural lung cancer deaths are a quarter lower than urban, possibly due to diagnosis differences or risk factors.
