Breast cancer has been the number one killer of women in the U.S. for countless years. In 1986, however, lung cancer surpassed breast cancer for the first time. One factor could be that more women are smoking now than ever before. d Another was the number of women in medical schools.

At a spouse abuse trial, Massan chusetts District Judge Paul denied Pamela Dunn's request for police protection from her husband, castigating her in open court for wasting his time and the taxpayers' money. Dunn's body was later found at the Lexington. Mass. dump. An Indianapolis ordinance defined pornography as discrimination against women.

Well, now the activists have gone too far. Listen to this. There have been raids on research centers by members of the Animal Liberation Front during which animals were released, computers damaged, and blood poured on files. Dr. Thomas Hamra of the Stanford University Medical Center said, "We are under constant A number of threat of break-in- . valuable colleagues are leaving because they cannot adjust to the harassment." Animal research is of paramount importance to thousands of critically ill children and to millions of children who do NOT get sick because they have been vaccinated against polio, tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough. Millions of children have survived strep throat, ear infections, bronchitis and pneumonia, thanks to antibiotics developed by using animal models. It is the same vvith 11 million diabetics kept alive by insulin, and cancer patients treated by radiation and chemotherapy. Kvery major medical breakthrough in this century has been made possible because of animal research. A group called PF.TA (People for the Kthical Treatment of Animals) has dramatically impeded the scientific work on AIDS, Alzheimer's disease and heart disease. Important research on liver transplantation has been stopped at the Harvard Medical School because the Massachusetts legislature has made the cost of dogs prohibitive, thanks to pressure from animal rights groups.

Dear Ann Landers: In response to the letter from "K.M. of Madison," who thinks the drunk driving laws in America are not tough enough: He has overlooked the toughest penalty of all: The treatment drunks get from the insurance companies. Regardless of the criminal sanctions, a drunk driver could, in some states, pay from $2,000 to $3,000 a year more for his insurance. This prospect is more terrifying than walking 20 miles to town in Turkey. A Turk would probably fare better before an inquisitor than an underwriter. Often the threat to the pocket-boo- k is more effective than the threat of cruel and unusual treatment. - RHO IN WEST MONROE, J 1 50( 25 Also discounts On I v. 3HJ Individualized instruction txpenenced, ceruhed teachers Innovative teaching methods a m.v. d d d j: Never more than 3 students per instructor Guaranteed success i!

Dear Ann Landers: I am not a vulgar or crude person but I am having a difficult time expressing my problem in polite language. My husband and I have been married six weeks. We have known each other for two years and I am ashamed to tell you that we started to get intimate about six months ago when we announced our engagement. For the first several weeks we didn't actually have sex - we took our time exploring and getting used to one another. When we did attempt to complete the act we had trouble. My husband finishes before I get started and it is all over. He is always very apologetic, feels that he is cheating me (which, of course, he is), but I know he does not do this on purpose. He just can't help it. I know you can say only so much in the paper but will you please give me some idea as to what can be done to alleviate this problem? We both feel that we are missing out on a very enjoyable aspect of marriage. - No Name in Montgomery. Ala. Dear Kama: The problem you describe is not uncommon. It is stray cats and dogs J.

Animal research aids critically ill kids Dear Ann Landers: Maybe you can discover why a classy organization like the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is geUing on the bandwcgon. As a mother of a child with a ldtai, incurable illness I am offended by the efforts being made to stop using animals in medical research. I wonder if these people know the ramifications if they should succeed. There is a great deal of pressure to promote "pound seizure bans." This means unclaimed cats and dogs cannot be used in research. Instead they must be destroyed. It is so senseless I can't believe it. Please explain. - MYSTIFIED IN new-lywed- s.
