In Hyannis, Independence House selects Richard Costa, a male psychiatric nurse, as executive director over four of ten directors resigning in protest. Critics argue a battered women’s shelter should be led by a woman, citing empathy and empowerment goals. Costa’s appointment makes ongoing debate across police stations, campuses, and women’s groups.

In 390 postmenopausal women, LDL fell 12 percent with raloxifene vs 14 percent with estrogen, HDL did not improve, and fibrinogen declined.
