The researchers say this pat tern means HMOs often avoid paying for old folks’ most expen sive illnesses, and it undercuts a primary reason for promoting HMOs for the elderly: saving money. Unlike people in ordinary HMOs, the elderly can quit Medicare HMOs with just a month’s notice. “I don’t want to imply that everyone flips in and out. A lot of people go into HMOs and say there. But there is also a lot of movement,” said Robert O. Mor gan, a psychologist at the Univer sity of Miami who was lead au thor of the study. However, an industry trade group countered that turnover is actually small and that the over whelming majority of elderly folks stick with their HMOs through sickness and health. Medicare HMOs have advan tages that make them attractive to reasonably healthy people. Pay ments are lower, and the plans usually cover prescription drugs, glasses and other benefits, such as fitness programs. Dow reaches 8,000 mark, predictions rise 2 NEW YORK — 10,000 by 2000? With millennium markers falling like dominoes in the path of the mighty Dow Jones indus trial average, it’s not such a far fetched notion anymore. Yes, caution remains the catchword after the Dow’s sur prising nine-month romp past 6,000, 7,000, and, on Wednes day, a 63.17-point advance to 8,038.88. There were, after all, extreme ly tense moments just last sum mer and once again this spring when it seemed Wall Street’s joy ride might come to a crashing halt. Back then, few forecasters were bold enough to predict the lightning speed of the ensuing rebounds, and fewer still dared set targets as lofty as those the Dow and other stock measures have since reached. Yet, there’s been significant change afoot in the market over the past year, and not only in stock prices. The predictable shower of doubt that has greeted the Dow’s most recent exploits has been sprinkled with an unusual dose of confidence, as if to say, “There’s some method to this madness,” and, “The best is yet to come.” Rival fighters together loot Republic of Congo 3 BRAZZAVILLE, Republic of Congo — Soldiers from the Republic of Congo’s warring sides looted the capital together Wednesday while scheduled peace talks failed to materialize. Delegations representing Presi dent Pascal Lissouba and his ri val, former military dictator De nis Sassou-Nguesso, were supposed to meet in Libreville, Gabon, to discuss a possible set tlement of the six-week conflict. But Lissouba’s troops, who control the Brazzaville airport, refused to allow Sassou-Ngues so’s delegation through their lines Tuesday to board a plane sent by Gabonese President Omar Bongo. There were tentative plans to try again Thursday. Scattered fighting has contin ued between the two sides de spite a cease-fire agreement that took effect Monday night. Resi dents in Brazzaville reported see ing fighters from the rival forces drinking together Wednesday along a main boulevard and loot ing downtown stores side-by side. Some soldiers were shouting that they’d take up arms jointly against the politicians if no settle ment was reached, the witnesses said. Officials: Commander unfit for Mir repair job 4 MOSCOW — Russian space officials declared the com mander of the Mir space station unfit for a grueling repair job Wednesday and said that a U.S. astronaut would begin training to replace him. However, NASA officials said it was premature to say astronaut Michael Foale would participate in the delicate mission into a sealed-off module that was punc tured last month in a collision with a cargo ship. “He can do some basic things, but no official simulations or the actual spacewalk. None of that’s been approved by NASA yet,” spokeswoman Catherine Watson said from Russia’s Mission Con trol outside Moscow. While Russian officials insisted that Foale would begin training and was “clearly delighted" by the prospect, they also said they wouldn’t decide until next week whether he would actually par ticipate in the repair mission. U.S. soldier stabbed from behind in Bosnia 5TUZLA, Bosnia-Herzegovina — With foreigners moving against war crimes fugitives, Bosnian Serbs have lashed out with whatever’s at hand. One U.S. soldier was stabbed from be hind with a sickle on Wednes day, and a grenade exploded near the house of a U.N. employ ee — the third such blast this week. The stabbing occurred less than a week after NATO troops made their first raid to seize Serb war crimes suspects. It was the first assault to wound or target a member of the NATO-led peace force since last week's raid on war crimes suspects in northern Bosnia. The tougher Western approach has stirred Serb anger, particular ly with Americans. Bombs have destroyed vehicles and damaged buildings housing international officials. Leaflets have threat ened Americans and others. Kitzhaber stumps for gas tax package 6 SALEM — Gov. John Kitzhaber began stumping the state this week for a gas tax pack age that crashed at the end of the Oregon Legislature’s 1997 ses sion. The plan, which would have increased the gas tax by 6 cents a gallon and nearly doubled the vehicle registration fee, was soundly defeated by the Senate the day before the session ad journed. Kitzhaber has been meeting with local transportation boost ers and newspaper editorial boards this week in hopes of putting pressure on Senate mem bers to change their minds. The Democratic governor’s message is that the gas tax plan fell victim to “petty politics” and that the state, with its growing economy and increasing traffic congestion, can’t afford to let the issue die.
