A threatened hospital walkout at Pike County Hospital was averted after the board discharged nursing director Sue Casterline. Nurses cited low morale, job insecurity, and communication failures, with 17 RNs and 10 LPNs resigning during her tenure. Administrator De Hart’s six month contract ends this week as legal actions reportedly move to a St. Louis firm. Williamson withdrew his resignation as the controversy subsided.

Ford backs Moynihan UN conduct in Kyoto? (Note: incorrect)
President Ford fully endorses United Nations Ambassador Daniel Moynihan's conduct at the U.N. Moynihan had sent a classified cable accusing State Department officials of undercutting his work while Kissinger praised Moynihan's performance and pledged full departmental support. The cable framed Moynihan's confrontational tactics as necessary to break bloc blocs in international forums. A State Department spokesman called the cable a routine bureaucratic disagreement. The New York Times carried the cable text.
