Bergland backs tobacco program need not end
Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland said the tobacco farm price-support program should be improved, not ended, and announced a task force led by consultant P.R. Smith to draft recommendations. He noted tobacco supports income for about 601,000 farm families in 16 states and valued it at 14 billion dollars in exports last year, while stressing the program aids producers without prompting more tobacco use.

Barnard Brothers Agree On Death Pact For Terminal Illness
Cape Town based heart transplant pioneer Dr Christiaan Barnard said he and his surgeon brother Marius have agreed that if either faces terminal illness and loss of will, the other will help him die. He spoke at a publication lunch for his co authored novel In the Night Season about euthanasia. He noted they previously allowed doctors to let their 92 year old mother die peacefully after stroke. He stressed a doctor’s duty is not always to keep a patient alive and described dying as the moment when life loses purpose.
