All screening programs have the potential to result in harmful overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Sound evidence, policy, and standards are needed to keep this harm to a minimum. Screening for and “treating” cervical cytological abnormalities provides a sobering example. The term “carcinoma in situ” came into use from 1950 and implied—misleadingly—that an inevitable malignant process had been identified. Hysterectomy became widely used to “treat” it. New Zealand's Herbert Green was one of a minority of gynecologists around the world who recognized the possible dangers of harmful overtreatment. Green developed and monitored more conservative management approaches to avoid women being “subjected to hysterectomy”. By the mid-1980s, his approaches had been adopted not only within National Women's Hospital in Auckland, but more widely. In 1987, it was alleged in a magazine article that an “experimental” research program had been undertaken at National Women's Hospital to study the natural course of untreated cervical “carcinoma in situ”; that this had entailed withholding “conventional treatment” from some patients indefinitely; and that some patients had died as a result. A public furore resulted and led 2 weeks later to the creation of a judicial inquiry—the Cartwright Inquiry—which reported the following year. The findings of the Inquiry, which criticized Green's practice, have been both disputed and defended ever since, often by individuals with competing interests. In the recently published 2nd edition of their book Screening: Evidence and Practice, Angela Raffle, Anne Mackie, and Muir Gray have provided a fresh analysis. This concludes (see accompanying article) that the Cartwright Inquiry provides no trustworthy evidence of harm from the adoption of the conservative management introduced by Green and adopted by some of his colleagues at National Women's Hospital. It is now clear that the treatment and monitoring methods introduced by Herb Green have benefited numerous women through avoidance of major surgery and preservation of fertility.

The two companies presented free public readings from Ajax and Philoctetes, followed by panel discussions with active and former military personnel about the relevance of the plays in our own time of war.

Chris Semenecz, a former Democratic councilman and frequent nominee for reelection to the council, filed a lawsuit in February challenging the appointment of Joseph Jones as the borough's municipal judge. Jones was appointed by a vote of 4-2, along party lines. Judge Menelaos W. Toskos ruled that Jones can remain the municipal judge until Oct. 1 to allow Mayor Ron Jones Joseph Jones' father enough time to make a new nomination. The ruling does not preclude the mayor from nominating his son. Semenecz alleged that Jones' appointment violated state statute because the motion should have been made by the mayor, but in this case was made by a council member. He also alleged nepotism.

Four years ago I was at the International Youth Library in Munich researching the status of the young adult novel outside the United States. Since this segment of the American publishing industry was experiencing a fair amount of experimentation in form, I was interested in discovering the extent to which that might be happening elsewhere. [...]I instructed the class in a sitting posture. [...]the finished program packed such a punch that the network delayed showing it as an ABC Afternoon Special and instead ran it during prime-time on its ABC Theater for Young Americans on October 4, 1981. [...]a search of the database AltPressIndexArchive, which spans the years from 1960 to 1990, shows the article as having been published in the North Country Anvil in 1974.
