Vancouver presents Seymour
Hersh, the investigative jour­
nalist on the Abu Ghraib story
whose stunning reports on pris­
oner abuse made headlines
around the world.
The New Yorker journalist
will speak at V an co u v er’s
Skyview High School at 7:30
p.m. on Wednesday, April 4.
He will address several ques­
tions, including "how did we get
from the clear morning when
hijackers trashed i nto the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon
to a divisive and dirty war in
Iraq? And who was ultimately
responsible for the abuses at
Abu Ghraib?”
You may have more options
then you think.

The 36-year-old supermodel had
pleaded guilty to misdemeanor as­

at her maid in Campbell's Park Av­

of jeans.
Her maid. Ana Scolavino, re­
quired four stitches to her head,
since the phone apparently was

was an accident because she did

them to mind their business. Yes,

that you're making good decisions,
feeling good about yourself and
you prefer to live rather than sit
down, grow old and bore yourself
to death.

On any given night 754,000
people across the United States are
homeless, according to a new gov­
ernment study on the problem.
The Departm ent of Housing
and Urban Developm ent, in its
first study o f the scope o f the
national hom elessness problem
in 23 years, said that its "snap­
shot" study based on a three-
month period in 2005 showed that
tw o-thirds of the hom eless popu­
lation are men, 16 percent are
women. 59 percent are ethnic m i­
norities, 4 1 percent are in the 31 -
50 age range and 21 percent are
children.
It also said that nearly one in five
of the adult homeless are military
veterans.
However, Philip Mangano, ex­
ecutive director of the United States

shot survey does not represent the
full extent of homelessness across
the country, as measured through­
out the year.
"There is a divergence of opin­
ion among researchers about the
number of people who are experi­
encing homelessness in the course
of a year," Mangano said.
"Some say it might he as high as
one percent of the US population
(three million people); others say it
might be as high as two million."
