She acknowledged the problems with issuing passes to healthy people, saying that in the end it is not an effective way to control an epidemic. Since healthy people may carry the cholera bacteria, it is almost impossible, to impose useful quarantines. The most effective ways to control such illnesses, however, have been largely ignored in Russia. Cholera, a severe form of bacterial dysentery, flourishes in regions where water is dirty, sanitation is poor and poverty is common. To some degree, those conditions exist in Russia, and the infectious diseases often associated with poverty, overcrowding and poor sanitation diphtheria, tuberculosis, cholera, typhoid have risen alarmingly in Russia.

Diphtheria cases in St. Petersburg jumped from 12 to 845 between 1990 and 1992. Last year the number had more than doubled. Medical officials fear that substandard wastewater treatment and poor-quality drinking water will contribute to the spread of cholera in places like Moscow, where enormous numbers of iinmigrants from across the former Soviet Union arrive every week. he axe has fallen again at WXYT-AM (1270), this time on conservative talk host Tommy Mclntyre.

Starting on Monday, the political pendulum swings to the left on the 6-9 p.m. slot with nationally syndicated host Tom Leykis, who distinguished himself by broadcasting live from O.J. Simpson's front yard shortly after the former athlete's arrest. "If you like Rush Limbaugh, you're going to love to hate Tom Leykis," says WXYT Vice PresidentGeneral Manager Michael Packer. Mclntyre, 58, says the parting with WXYT was amicable although he feels the Leykis promo saying he is "living proof that you don't have to be a right wing wacko or convicted felon to host a show on WXYT" lacks class.

Mclntyre, who says finances aren't a problem because his wife Sherrey earns more than he did, says he's looking to buy his own radio station. After 37 years in the WJBK plans pre Planning for the day it becomes a Fox affiliate and no longer carries the "CBS Evening News," WJBK-TV, Channel 2 in Detroit, will begin doing its own "national" nightly newscast after Labor Day. "Eyewitness News Report with Huel Perkins" will air at 6 p.m. weeknights beginning Sept. 6.

Aside from a recap of the top local news story, Perkins will anchor a newscast that focuses heavily on national and international news, including live reports from CNN and WJBK's sister stations across the country. "It will be a national and international newscast from a Detroit perspective," WJBK general manager Steve Antoniotti said Friday. WJBK news director Mort Meisner is touting the newscast as the first of its kind at a local TV station in America. The revamping of the 6 p.m. newscast is one of several newscast changes WJBK will unveil the week of Sept.

More than 1,000 cases have been reported in the Dagestan area, and after long debate public health officials enacted a quarantine there this week. In neighboring Chechnya, where four people have died from the disease, a profoundly unstable political situation has made all attempts at sanitary control impossible. Dagestan and Chechnya are republics wedged between Georgia and the Caspian Sea.

Health officials, concerned as much about the publicity and panic surrounding the outbreak as the possible spread of contagion, issued a resolution entitled, "Urgent Measures for the Prevention of Cholera in the Moscow Region." Moscow health inspectors said they would increase chlorine in the drinking water. Purchasing vegetables is difficult because health inspectors are closing down kiosks and food stalls. "Borders these days are transparent," said Dr. Emiliya Kovalenko, chief sanitary-epidemiologic officer for the Moscow region. "We can't stop a The Free Press corrects all errors of fact.
