The agreement, due to go into effect Jan. 1, is designed to avoid dangerous military incidents. The State Department said a delegation scheduled to be in Moscow Monday will raise the matter during talks on the agreement.

U.S. Rep. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, quickly condemned the Soviet action. "At a time when our relations with cause of the Soviet practice, first publicized in 1987. A Hawaii military spokesman said air crews will be taking "further measures to minimize exposure and injury," but offered no specifics.

"I hope President Bush will raise this incident at his upcoming meeting with (Soviet leader Mikhail) Gorbachev." Akaka said he has contacted Gen.

Except one: Picking up the garbage. The Hawaii Poll asked a sample of Oahu adults what kind of impression they had of state and city government overall and of some agencies and services in particular. Although city government gets a slight edge over the state in positive marks, a majority of the sample rated both city and state only fair or poor.

"We've all known that the rate increases dramatically with age. I don't think we knew just how dramatic that increase is." A statement from the institute said the research is important because it studied large numbers of elderly people, including those living in their own homes or with families and those with little or no obvious memory problems.

Adverliuer Sewt Servicei CHICAGO More than one in 10 people over age 65 may have Alzheimer's disease, says a study suggesting that the number of Americans with the devastating illness may be nearly double 1.5 million higher than previously estimated. A study of 3,623 elderly people in East Boston, revealed that rates of Alzheimer's grow rapidly higher with age, soaring to nearly half of those over age 85, said researchers at Harvard Medical School. Of people ages 65 to 74, 3 percent had "probable" Alzheimer's disease, compared with 18.7 percent of those 75 to 84 and 47.2 percent of those over 85. All told, 10.3 percent of those over age 65 had "probable" Alzheimer disease.
