Last Train West Zephyr Farewell Through Canyon

About 150 people saw the last train off Oakland Saturday morning and about 100 at Stockton northward waving farewell including demonstrators.

New Study Questions Long-Held Views on Death by Own Action
Framing a discussion at the American Association of Suicidology meeting, Dr. Calvin Frederick urged reevaluating statistics on self destruction. Dr. Michael L. Peck presented the largest U.S. collegiate study, finding lower college suicide rates than some prior figures and noting middle-class, socially isolated youths as typical victims. Japanese data from Kyota University showed higher female and rural rates, challenging beliefs about demographic risk.
