The latest issue of Newsweek quotes Buchanan, CNN's feisty conservative commentator-turned-politician, saying: "I admire Ted Kennedy.

ATLANTA (AP) The death rate from heart disease, the nation's leading killer, has fallen more than 6 percent in just one year, federal health researchers reported Thursday. Overall, the nation's death rate dropped 2.3 percent from 1988 to 1989, the latest statistics available, the national Centers for Disease Control said. The decline in heart disease mortality was a major reason; heart disease accounts for about a third of U.S.

deaths. The death rate from heart disease has been declining in the United States since the 1950s. But the 6.3 percent drop in one year came as a surprise. Dr. Randolph Martin, a cardiologist and professor of medicine at Atlanta's Emory University, noted "tremendous advances" in public awareness of heart disease and treatments in the 1980s.

New heart drugs, a technique for clearing the arteries called angioplasty and surgical advances have "clearly made a difference," Martin said. "The other aspect of it is the public's awareness diet, lifestyle," he said. "When you go to a cocktail party, everybody wants to know what their cholesterol is." The death rate from stroke, which can be caused by the same factors as heart disease, also declined, by 5.7 percent in one year and 32.7 percent in a decade. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, behind cancer. The death rate from cancer rose 0.2 percent from 1988 to 1989, and 1 .7 percent for the decade.

The CDC report was based on reporting from death certificates; 2,150,466 deaths were reported nationwide in 1989, 733,867 from heart disease. Cancer killed 496,152, and stroke killed 145,551. The 2.3 percent drop in the death rate coincides with an increasing life expectancy in this country, now up to 79 years for women and 72 for men. For 1989, the overall death rate for men was 70 percent higher than for women. mmm Dayton DailyNewsLine EIIHE Must use a Touch-Tone or tone-emitting phone and call within the local dialing area.
