While there is much debate on whether the gains are temporary, and although wide gulfs in opportunity, incomes and education still exist between b'acks and whites, signs of Improvement abound: The black teenage birth ; ite fell by 9 percent in 1995 and has dropped by 17 percent since 1991. Last year, the percentage of black babies born out of wedlock fell to 69.5 percent, from 70.4 percent, the first drop in the proportion of black children born outside of marringe since 1969. For the first time since the Census Bureau began keeping track in 1959, the poverty rate fell below 30 percent of all blacks in 1995. Median income for black households rose by 3.6 parent, far faster than the 2.2 percent increase for white households. (Census data slfBwthat many of the strongest gains in earnings are at the bottom, rather than at the top, of the black income scale.) Blacks are the only group whose inflation-adjuste- d median income exceeds what it was in 1989, the year before the last recession. In 1989, "households headed by black married couples earned 769 percent as much as their white counterparts. By 1995, the gap was 87 percent. The rate at which black people were victims of murder dropped an estimated 17 percent last year, and the average life expectancy for black men rose to 65.4 years, the highest since 1984, when crack cocaine and accessibility of weapons like assault rifles began to engulf many black communities. The proportion of young black adults, age 25 to 29, who have completed high school has reached that of young white adults. Verbal scores on Scholastic Assessment Test and performance on other national tets have been rising faster for black students than for whites, but African-America- n students still score much lower than white students. "I think that this is a short period of really very substantial and significant gains.: said Milton Morris, vice president of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a Washington group that tracks trends among African-American- s. "In therMt ffJhpolitiejl and atmosphere of tneslast year'orscf very fe people have been paying serious attention. And ' yet when you do, you see that by virtually vy measure of well-bein- g, A4rkAmericam htte been on a significant uptrend durinf the 9fc.

Aad soctoiogt stSjj economists, tietiKigrapnen ana civil rights advocates caution that the improvements should not mast continued problems with crime, welfare dependency, discrimination and unemployment that stilt confront the black population in this country. Some scholars also worry (hat the recent fains may be reversed If the economy falters or, in the short term, by the new welfare law. A number of economists and sociologists note that in 1995 the black unemployment rate tumbled underlO percent for the first time in 20 years, though it has Since inched up above that level. And while a brighter labor market hblps account for black gains in income and the drop in, poverty rates for African-American- s, many experts cannot fully4 fcxpluiri improvements i the birth rate or the teen-ag- e pregnancy rate. . Researchers in New Jersey credit the drop In the birth rate among the state's welfare families - about 46 percent of whom are black - to its 1992 law denying increased cash benefits to women who have more children. Other states, like Delaware and Indiana, which did not institute policies like New Jersey's until recently, have also reported such decreases. "Something is going on," said Kristin Moore, the executive director of Child Trends HN4380handspet.qrg, a Washington-base- d research group. "Whether it's cultural factors, Or a thousand programs finally seeing some success, we don't know." Some economists argue that the closing of the gap between blacks and whites is partly explained by surveys that often count most Americans of Hispanic heritage as whites. Recent increases in the number of Hispanic immigrants, many of them low income, thus hold down overall white performance. Some economists also say the nearly 800,000 black adults in federal and state prisons and local jails are not counted when looking at things like unemployment or high school completion rats..

Theory of a Conspi Kill Ron Brown Questions mm BrDavM Spactai It ti fWA. frott tin Jaduwai Advocsrta , An intriguing Pelican Brief-styl- e theory has recently surfaced claiming that the death of former U.S. Commerce Secretary Ron Brc Mn was no accident, but rather a plan concocted by top government officials in order to permanently distance President Clinton from Brown's alleged governmental misconduct. The theory, which is chronologically outlined in a 20-pa- document titled, "Murder in the First Degree," claims Clinton knew of ge the plot to "mysteriously" assassinate Brown. The Document asserts that top Clinton administrators, with the help of top Croatian official, conspired to assassinate Brown because of the embumiimsnt hit ongoing legal fealties oauatd the Administration and the advene impact the legal battles woold have on Clinton's rceloation. According to Nicholas A Gnarino, author of the document and editor of the Arkansas-baae-d newspaper, The Wall Street Underground, an inside UkS. agent named "BySThrea" leaked the story. Furthermore, Guarino said "two dozen" other government officials and military personnel gave information supporting the conspiracy allegation. All sources spoke on condition of anonymity. To date, these conspiracy charges have not befin supported. On April 3, Brown and 34 American business people were killed after their Air force CT-4- 3 plunged into a mountain near Dubrovnik, Croatia. The pla was leaving from Tuzla, Bosnia on its way to Croatia. The tragic crash immediately caused many to raise questions of incompetence on the part of the Air Force pilots who were flying the plane. Nevertheless, early news coverage suggested that bad weather was a major cause for the crash. After an unusually long four month investigation, 16 Air Force officers were "rsprlnfutded" on Aug. 6 in connection with the accident. All of the officers wore temporarily striped of their commands, including a three star general and a colonel, However, according to reports compiled by Guarinov the weather was not bad in Croatia. Additionally, Guarino contends that it is highly b'zarre for, Air Force pilots to travel 1.5 miles off course Without knowing it. Guarino says these inconsistencies, atong with Otheis, support allegations "of a conspiracy. Consequently, GuarinoRs theory claims that the plane was purposely lead off course by the maintenance chief at Croatia's Cilipi Airport. Guarino claims ihe chief, Niko Jerkuic, purposely misnav- - igated the plane, leading it to its ultimate demise. According tt Guarino, this plot was achieved by giving the Air Force pilots fee wrong radio (HDR) signals. The NOR signal, or non-directio- "beacon" as Guarino calls it, was essentially die compass mat the Air Force pilots were to follow for navigational instruction. Based on the document, Jerkuic was supposed to receive a large sum of money for successfully disposing of Brown. Days later, however, Jerkuic was found dead with gunshot wounds to the cheat, Guarino's document claims. "In a couple of hours, (Jerfyfic) would be a rich man, the two American operatives told hi j" the document itatas; "if (Jerkuic could) quietly send (the into Sveti Ivan (St. John's Hill), one CT-4-3) of the highest mountains in the Km." The theory, however, disregards the fact that Brown was porhops the single reason for Clinton being voted president in 1992. As the leader of Clinton's 1992 Democratic campaign, and national president of the Democratic party, Brown masterminded Clinton's campaign which ultimately led to his presidential victory. Consequently, Clinton hired Brown as commerce secretary and their alleged friendship heightened. Obituary yupjosaK'y- - n x MaannjBaaaaaaaaajj Pvese vfs ' .
