A UNC School of Medicine team studies links between early childhood respiratory illness and chronic lung diseases later in life. They observe temporary lung function disturbances during illness and up to a month after, focusing on small airways. The study follows children aged 2½ to 12, adding 14 each year through 1981, to identify infections impacting lung growth and potential vaccine targets. Sponsored by NIH and EPA.

Defense Lawyer Hired for Ray Escape Trial in Tennessee
Attorney Lane, co author of a book on the King assassination, will defend James Earl Ray at the June 10 escape trial in a rural Tennessee prison case. Lane contends Ray was unjustly convicted in Memphis and seeks a new murder trial with evidence about coercion by authorities. Ray, 49, serves a 99 year term at Brushy Mountain Penitentiary and could face five more years if convicted on the escape count. Parole on the murder charge could come in 2001.
