Nation's alcohol related fatalities in 1997 a record low
In 1997 alcohol related traffic deaths dropped to a record low of 16,189 or 38.6 percent of total fatalities down from 1996. The department cites zero tolerance laws for youth and state measures as key factors while stressing more work is needed to continue the decline. Clinton and Slater urge stronger actions and lower thresholds to 0.08 BAC with grants to spur adoption. Judith Stone notes continued aggressive efforts are essential to prevent a rise.

Petition drive seeks charges against alleged killer's friend
More than 20 000 people signed a petition urging prosecutors to charge David Cash Jr. for failing to report the May 1997 sexual assault and killing of 7-year-old Sherrice Iverson in a Nevada casino. Cash, not charged due to lack of Nevada law, watched the attack from a casino stall and stayed silent after his friend Jeremy Strohmeyer confessed. The effort calls for a memorial bill punishing witnesses who fail to report sexual violence against minors.
