Marin
County Breast Cancer Rate Blamed on Lifestyle, Demographics
By
Ulysses Torassa
About
half of the breast cancer cases in Marin County appear
to be the result of lifestyle or demographic factors,
such as late or no childbearing and a family history
of the disease, according to an unpublished study unveiled
Thursday. At a town meeting called by the county’s
health department to discuss recent research into Marin
County’s high breast cancer rate, Christine
Erdmann, a scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory, outlined some of her latest findings, based
on interviews with 305 Marin County women, none of whom
had breast cancer. Of those, 84 percent had at least
one of five key risk factors, and 44 percent had two
or more. Full
story.

Cleaning
Our Clocks
By
Bonnie Azab Powell
At
8 a.m. today, time will stop on the Berkeley campus
when the four clocks of Sather Tower, better known
as the Campanile, will go still in preparation for
a month-long, overdue makeover. Completed in 1914,
the Campanile looms 307 feet over the Berkeley campus.
Its four clock mechanisms have not been overhauled
in several decades. Over the past year, they have
consistently lost time or stopped working. The Campanile’s
hourly chimes should not be affected by the restoration.
For more information go
