Plea retraction may reopen Presser investigation
A man linked to a ghost payroll scheme at a Cleveland Teamsters Local seeks to withdraw his guilty plea, potentially drawing U.S. prosecutors back into the aborted cases involving Teamster President Jackie Presser. The move could require testimony before a Senate panel amid ongoing secrecy in the Space Shuttle mission coverage.

Blood screening tests fall short of safety claims
Harvard AIDS expert Myron Essex warned at a Cambridge forum that the donor screening tests for AIDS are not 100 percent reliable and that the blood supply remains at risk from false positives and false negatives. He cited substantial repeat-test discrepancies from a study of 107,000 units, where initial positives dropped drastically on retesting. CDC official James Mason noted 210 transfusion AIDS cases among over 13,000 total AIDS cases, while stressing the 99 percent safety level cited by federal authorities.
