The idea of a i,multi-] billiondoifar medical lu\~suit \\?tilout scientitic contirmation linking the breast prosthesis to a disease or a debilitating condition is a sad commentanon toda.•'s intellectual climate . A courtroom used to be a place for tacts ; now, emotions rule, evidence becomes secondan, <strong>and</strong> the successh:i <strong>business</strong>man or comoanv be danmed . These ambubance chasing la\\~ers are blata_t enemies of exen, honest person . -Jo~N L tv ;s EastG :zemnich . RI . SiR : As an M .D ., I am verV uncomfortable with the breast implant issue . Prior to dte Creation of implants tilled with silicon, injections or that verv same silicon \cere used <strong>and</strong> there \eas no surge in autoimmune discases . The techniauc was ab<strong>and</strong>oned for cosmetic reasons-the silicon shifted vlace .

Encirm, Ca1if : More than skin-deep ~ SIR : Re "Bosnia cs . Stanford" (Jshr - 17) . The same "self-inC.ulgcnt" student population that set a Guinness ~codd record tor moor. : ;ig at Stan'rord also launched a giant bone mannudrive one u-eel later . Our caispus- VVide et}OFt to SaCe a telioR' Studetlt diagnosed m ;h leukemia netted the largest pool ofAsian dmerican donors in histon . College is a place \el :ere sociai norms are tested, nor simply indoctrinatcd . R'iiilc students todm• nta~not take thaaselces as seriousiv as bethre, thevare not "moral ezhi6itionists ." Their sense of obligation <strong>and</strong> compassion remains ecen, bit as strung . -Cz U c S Koro AL Sc lior Strzrtfnrr! Gttircrsirl~ Stanford, Crclif. Japanese war chest SiR : Re Jude Ci'anniski's letter (jzih31) . At'annisi:i argues thet the reason the Japanese ntight stop buring U .S . assets is tlrat :hev vvou'thave dolLirs if the li .S purs a 100%, -aritf on lu .un' ears . [Bur] eNen if the huge Japanese current surplus accomit vvith the U .S . should fall to zero .. the Bank of Japan has accumula .ed a iear chest of about $157 billion in dollar-dertominatcd resen'es .

The job :irat'ker for U .S . citizens with Ph .Ds <strong>and</strong> their \cor4inQ corw.itions have declined steadilv, o%er the',ast 20 tears <strong>and</strong> plummeted since 1990 . Scientists tace scarce jobs, decreasing status, temporanemplo\ment, Io\\ vcages, lack of bene[its <strong>and</strong> hostile management conditions . Because of this, U .S . citizens are getting out of laboraton research br anq route possible . Others hace resorted to "ducibing doa-n" their resumes so they can apply for uork as technicans . Our resulting dependence on foreign Ph .D .s in criticai areas is not a solution but a symptom of a larger problem, -GREGG W . SILK, Ph .D . Beltrrille . ;bfd.

But the Millenia isn't sold by a separate luxu ~` ~'on To make it feel more solid than other luxury cars, the sides of the Millenia are stamped f r~ om single pieces, not welded from smaller ones . The result is a fit so precise, y panel seams are 20% tighter than on a Mercedes C280 . Under the hood, the Millenia S has a unique, high-output V6, up to 80% more verful than ordinary engines of comparable size . And though it makes the Millenia S ter from 0 to 60 than the V8-powered BMW 530i, it actually bums less fuel .* To protect its passengers, the Millenia meets global safety requirements through 97 Naturally, dual air bags, anti-lock brakes <strong>and</strong> front-wheel drive are st<strong>and</strong>ard . id for everyday peace of mind, the Millenia comes with a 36-month/50,000-mile rranty <strong>and</strong> 24-hour Emergency Roadside Assistance .** The Mazda Millenia .
