What's driving an epidemic? The spread of syphilis along an interstate highway in rural North Carolina
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine whether county syphilis rates were increased along Interstate Highway 95 (I-95) in North Carolina during a recent epidemic. METHODS: Ecological data on syphilis cases demographic data, highway data, and drug activity data were used to conduct a cross-sectional and longitudinal study of North Carolina countries from 1985 to 1994. Crude and adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were determined …
Sociodemographic factors and the variation in syphilis rates among US counties, 1984 through 1993: An ecological analysis
OBJECTIVES: Syphilis in the United States is focally distributed, with high incidence rates in the South and in metropolitan areas nationwide. In this study an ecological analysis, using the county as the unit of analysis, was performed to generate hypotheses about community-level determinants of syphilis rates. METHODS: Bivariate rank correlations and multivariate, backward stepwise elimination linear regressions were performed. Mean annual inci…
Syphilis in the South: Rural rates surpass urban rates in North Carolina
We studied primary and secondary syphilis rates in North Carolina for 1985 through 1993 to elucidate demographic trends and the role of rurality in the state's high rates. Each of the state's 100 counties was classified by rural-urban character; and county-level rates, adjusted for gender, race, and age group, were compared. Syphilis rates rose dramatically during the 9-year period, with most of the increase occurring among women, non-Whites, and…

Measles vaccination coverage among Latino children aged 12 to 59 months in Los Angeles County: A household survey
A high rate of measles transmission has occurred in Los Angeles County since 1987. To determine measles vaccination coverage among Latino preschoolers, the group at highest risk of measles during this period, a cluster survey was conducted among Latino households with children aged 12 to 59 months. Of 279 children enrolled, 240 (86%, 95% confidence interval = 81% to 91%) reportedly had received the measles vaccine. Measles vaccination coverage am…

The Gatt and Multilateral Treaty Making: The Tokyo Round
Multilateral treaty making, sometimes called the "international legislative process", occurs in a variety of forms and under the auspices of many international organizations. Concern that insufficient information is available about the way treaties are negotiated in different forums and that the process is haphazard led to a proposal for its review in the Sixth Committee at the 32d session of the United Nations General Assembly. Acting upon.this …
Chasin' the Trane. The Music and Mystique of John Coltrane
Always elusive, constantly moving, incessantly changing, John Coltrane stood astride the jazz world of the late '50s and '60s. He was a giant of the saxophone and a major composer. His music influenced both rock stars and classical musicians. There was a mystical quality, a profound melancholy emanating from this quiet, self-contained man that moved listeners--some of whom knew little about music but heard something beyond music's boundaries in t…
