Among 101 babies under 3.3 pounds on oxygen, the high vitamin group showed far fewer moderate and severe cases, though long term vision outcomes remain to be seen.

Polish cadets clash as government crushes sit-in in show of force
Solidarity and police routed cadets on a sit-in strike in Poland, the largest display of force since the independent union formed 15 months earlier. A conservative Politburo member called it local in character, while cadets demanded civilian status under a reform bill pending in Sejm. The nationwide student strike closed 72 of 91 colleges, and the government sought extraordinary powers to end the protests. In Vienna, Polish asylum claims hit a record 342 in 24 hours, with daily averages up to 240.
