Officers Forced Out As US Military Downs Vietnam Era Ranks
An Army personnel board will select 2 150 officers to involuntarily separate in the new fiscal year, with regulars and reservists equally considered. Air Force cuts target 1 200 to 2 000 reservists, total forced separations rising to 1 500 over two years. Captains face most exits due to peacetime distribution, while readjustment pay of 10 000 to 15 000 accompanies 90 days notice and accrued leave compensation.

Ohio House panel eyes malpractice bill
The House insurance committee in Columbus will review a rewritten medical malpractice bill aimed at controlling rising costs and preserving physician protection. The measure, shaped by Gov. Rhodes’s administration and Ohio Medical Association input, received 24 amendments from a Democratic subcommittee and is to be tested with hearings next week before a potential Thursday vote. The plan creates a state operated joint underwriting pool including Blue Cross Blue Shield and private insurers to guarantee coverage for all licensed doctors, including high risk. The Ohio Bar Association opposes a fee cap proposal that would set lawyers fees at 30 percent of the first 1000, 40 percent of the next 2000, 33 1/3 percent of the following 47000, 20 percent of the next 50000, and 10 percent over 100000.
