Ads anger hog farmers RALEIGH, N.C. The state Democratic Party pulled a televi sion adcritical of Republican Sen. Lauch Faircloth after hog farmers complained that it sullied their reputation. The ad reminded voters of a 1996 liquid sweet potato spill at Faircloth's cattle farm in which thousands of fish died. Said the announcer: "Lauch Faircloth ... polluting our rivers ... voting to protect the polluters." Although the spill involved Faircloth's cattle operation, the ad featured pictures of pigs. Barbara Allen, the state Democratic chairwoman, confirmed Saturday that the party had pulled the ad after being contacted by several hog produc ers who were also Democratic Party contrib utors. "We have such loyal supporters who arc farmers who are doing the right thing in protecting the environment," Allen said. "So we pulled it."
Glenn feeling "comfortable" SPACE CENTER, Houston John Glenn is amazing not only his doctors but himself: He's suffering no queasiness whatsoever or any other discomforts in space and feeling so energetic that he's tried out the shuttle commander's seat. "I've snuck up there and sat down a couple of times to see what it feels like, I must admit," the 77 -year-old former test pilot said with a laugh. In his first news conference since rocketing into orbit last week aboard Discovery, the world's oldest space traveler said Sunday that he expected to be nauseous the first day or two considering that two thirds of all astronauts wind up with "stom ach awareness ... or worse. I haven't had any of that so far. It's been great and I've been quite comfortable," he said.
Wales welcomes maggots SWANSEA Amid the gentle, green hills of south Wales, maggots and bloodsucking leeches are breeding at a shocking rate, multiplying by the thousands. And that - believe it or not - is a good thing. The squiggly creatures, being bred in labs here, not only are helping doctors save lives and limbs worldwide, they're drawing attention to a region quietly developing in to one of Britain's leading biotechnology centers. Once doctors and their patients overcome the squeamishness of using fly larvae and bloodsucking worms to treat serious wounds, they find maggots and leeches contribute to cleaning and heal ing better than anything produced by man, distributors say.
