By the end of 1999, Clinton had appointed a record 57 African Americans to the bench, along with 20 Latinos and 100 women. But for all that, the federaljudiciary remains arguably in Republican hands, because nine of the appeals courts, where the laws are made, and The Latino Center the SupremeCourtaremajorityRepublican. Study finds prescriptions Presents: for preschoolers on rise Doctors are prescribing stimulants such as Ritalin and anti- depressants such as Prozac for preschoolers at rates that appear to be rising rapidly, according to a study released Tuesday. The study, covering children age two to four in three large health systems in different parts ofthe United States, found the use of such drugs had doubled or even tripled from 1991 to 1995. The rapid increase occurred despite the fact that none ofthe most commonly used ofthese drugs has been approved for children under six, and little research has been done on the medicines’ effects on children so young. “The knowledge base that we have to supportthe effectivenessand safety ofthese medicines in preschool-age children is certainly insuf- ficient,” said Julie Magno Zit0 of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy,the study’sprincipal author. “There’sno dosing informa- tion for these children.. . Are we satisfied that it’s appropriate?’ Although previous studies have documented a rapid increase in Ritalin use among olderchildren in recent years, the new study is the most comprehensive effort so far to examine the use of such drugs in preschoolers. Experts said Tuesday that they believe the findings - published in Wednesday’s issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association -reflect a national trend. The study analyzed data from two state Medicaid programs and a health maintenance organization and found that as many as 1.5 percent of children two to four years old were receiving stimulants, anti-depressants, or anti-psychotic drugs - a group that includes ”major tranquilizers” such as thorazine. The findings suggest that, nationally, as many as 150,000 children in this age group were taking such medicines in 1995, up from about 100,000in 1991,Zitosaid.Theuseofanti-depressantsalmostdoubled and the use of stimulants almost tripled in the programs studied. Court strikes down one of California’s taxes The US Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down a California corporate tax law dating to 1936, declaring that the rule imposed unfair levies on companies headquartered in other states. California officials estimate that the ruling will force the state to pay as much as $95 million overall in refunds for past years. They said the high court’s decision also will reduce future corporate incometaxrevenueby$13 millionto$15millionannually. Those sums reflect only a tiny share of the more than $5 billion a year that California receives in corporate taxes. Still, about 800 companies based in other states are expected to benefit from reduced taxes, and a roughly equal number ofbusinesses headquar- tered in California face higher levies. “There are winners and losers,” said Benjamin Miller, a lawyer with the state Franchise Tax Board. The unanimous high court decision stems 6om a case brought by the Hunt-Wesson unit of Omaha-based ConAgra Inc., which is ex- pected to receive refinds and interest totaling$3 million to $4 million. Hunt-Wesson argued that California’slaw had the indirect effect of unconstitutionallytaxing the company for out-of-state earnings. It said In Celebration of Intercultural Week Californiadid this by unfairly limitingthe interest expense deductions that multi-state companies based outside of California could take. California defended its so-called interest offset provision as a way to prevent companies from improperly avoiding taxes by borrowing money for out-of-state purposes and then claiming the expense as a deduction in California.
