New FTC study weighs stronger cigarette ad warnings
The FTC staff, after five years of study, urges a new warning system for cigarette ads. They propose changing the warning's shape and size, plus rotating short notes on specific threats such as dangers to pregnant women. The report, sent to Congress, shows few adults read current warnings and calls for dialogue on stronger measures.

Welch receives nine life terms for doctor killing
Bernard C. Welch, convicted of the December 5 1980 murder of noted cardiologist Michael Halberstam, was sentenced in Washington to nine consecutive life terms. Judge H Carl Moultrie III said extended incarceration serves the public, while the prosecutor called Welch a greedy rauder. Welch escaped from prison eight years ago and is linked to a seven year burglary spree that yielded millions in stolen goods.
