US Senator Jesse Helms told The New York Times the government spends too much on AIDS care and research, labeling the disease a result of deliberate acts and urging fiscal restraint amid debates on renewing the Ryan White Care Act. He cited funding figures and noted AIDS as a leading death cause for ages 24 to 44. The act expires at September end with reauthorization stalled in Congress.

Duplin chicken farm lagoon spills 8.6 million gallons
A ruptured lagoon at Maready Farms in Duplin County released 8.6 million gallons of chicken waste. The muck flowed into Gum Branch Creek and into the Northeast Cape Fear River, prompting biologists and inspectors to assess damage and officials to evaluate pollution levels. Environmentalists fault North Carolina's oversight of agricultural waste treatment amid two prior recent spills.
