Doubts grow over Oliver North credibility in Iran Contra saga
Washington UPI reports growing doubt within Iran Contra committees about Lt. Col. Oliver North telling the truth under oath. After 23 days of testimony on diversions and coverups, critics note North oversaw at least 3.5 million dollars in Contra profits from arms sales to Iran via Israel in 1985 and altered documents to hide the administration’s role. Charles Cooper testified that Casey Poindexter and other officials aided the coverup, with North suspected of destroying evidence. The hearings looming July 7 focus on Reagan’s knowledge of the Iran arms initiative and diverted profits, with Reagan denying prior awareness.

Violence among youths tops killer list in USA study
Chicago researchers report violence is the leading cause of death for adolescents in the United States, with accidents and suicide deaths rising. The Journal of the American Medical Association notes 77 percent of deaths in 15 to 24 year olds from 1955 to today come from accidents, homicide, or self-harm, linked to alcohol and firearms. A second study explores factors behind rising self-inflicted deaths and stresses the need for adult behavior change to help youths.
