Anheuser-Busch, maker of popular Budweiser beer, plans to give a
shot at becoming as popular worldwide as Coca-Cola, Marlboro,
and Levis. Faced with slumping U.S. revenues, Anheuser has
taken a $477 million stake in Mexico's biggest brewer, Grupo
Modelo, makers of Corona beer and has an $BO million venture
with Japan's largest brewer, Kirin Brewery, to distribute Budweiser
in Japan.
A questionnaire on sexual harassment published in Seventeen
magazine in September 1992 found sexual harassment "rampant in
elementary and secondary schools." More than 4,200 female
students in grades 2 through 12 responded and findings, released
Wednesday, included: 39% reported being harassed at school every
day last year, another 29% said it happened last week; in more than
two-thirds of the incidents, others witnessed the harassment; 4%
reported the incident to a teacher, administrator, or other school
staff member, of those reported, 55% of the cases were acted upon
by the school; 89% reported sexual comments, gestures; and 83%
reported being touched or grabbed.
Next month's summit between President Clinton and Boris Yeltsin
may be moved to Moscow, a senior Russian official said Tuesday.
The summit is now scheduled for April 3-4 in Vancouver, British
Columbia. Some of Yeltsin supporters now worry that the
Russian president's opponents would take advantage of his absence
to oust him as part of the current struggle between Yeltsin and
Parliament. Clinton has said that the United States will continue
to support Yeltsin and will offer "an aggressive and quite specific
plan" of aid for Russia at the summit.
Killings involving teenagers and guns have gone up 16% since
1989, reveals a study released by the Centers for Disease Control.
Says Health and Human Services Donna Shalala, "It is frightening
and intolerable to see this waste of young lives." In 1990, 4,173
teens were shot to death. Other findings include: 25% of all deaths
from ages 15 to 24 were from shootings, black males were shot to
death five times more often than white males; leading cause of
death for black males 10 to 34: bullets; 39% more teenagers died
from gunshots than disease; and white teenagers have the fastest
growing death rate, up 24% a year from 1988-1990.
In Washington, Pa., a murder suspect, William Kingan, told police
he repeatedly stabbed his roommate with a meat fork and steak
knife because "he wouldn't die." Police found Clarence Aurand, 53,
who was mute, lying in bed with the fork sticking out of his chest
and 12 other stab wounds. Kingan, 43, told police that he jumped
on Aurand, trying to kill him. Aurand died the next day at
Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. "I couldn't put up with
him anymore," Kingan said.
Cult leader, David Koresh of the Branch Davidians, has rejected an
offer for a national radio pulpit if he ended the nearly month long
standoff with federal agents in Waco, Texas. The FBI offered
Koresh access to the Christian Broadcasting Network at the time of
his surrender but the noon Tuesday deadline for Koresh to accept
the deal passed without word from inside the Mount Cannel
compound. Since the standoff began February 28 in a bloody gun
battle, Koresh claims to have 78 adults and 17 children--all whom
he claims as his own biological or adopted children--remaining in
the compotmd.
Seven months after Hurricane Andrew, the children of Dade
County, Florida are haunted. In the past two months more than a
dozen elementary school youngsters have tried to kill themselves.
A countywide alert has been prompted by the suicide attempts,
from a second-grader who tried to strangle himself to a 7-year-old
who leapt from a school balcony. Fear and stress are common
among children surviving natural disasters, but the suicide attempts
among youngsters in Dade County are still shocking. Local
3xperts see a number of possible reasons, from financial hard times
o family violence, but they see Hurricane Andrew as major trigger
or the stress and still plaguing many children.
