-Caveat Lector- Well, you know ... The Senators have been waiting for some new evidence to influence their proceedings and if you can't believe the JAMA, who or what or how can you believe? This ought to inject some serum of truth into the House's corpus corruptilius. From http://dailynews.yahoo.com/headlines/ap/ap_us/story.html?s=v/ap/19990115/us/ jama_editor_1.html Friday January 15 11:58 AM ET JAMA Editor Fired Over Sex Article <Picture: AP Photo> AP Photo By BRENDA C. COLEMAN AP Medical Writer CHICAGO (AP) - The editor of The Journal of the American Medical Association was fired today, and The Associated Press learned it was because he published a research article about college students' sexual attitudes apparently to coincide with President Clinton's impeachment trial. Dr. George D. Lundberg, editor of JAMA for 17 years, confirmed he had been called at home this morning and fired by AMA Executive Vice President E. Ratcliffe Anderson Jr. He declined to discuss the reason or release any other details on the advice of his attorney. ``This is a really big story, especially when you find out why,'' Lundberg, 65, said without elaborating. Until recently, he had said he hoped to break the 25-year record for editorship of JAMA held by the late Dr. Morris Fishbein. The article, to be published in the Jan. 20 JAMA, explored what Americans mean by the phrase ``had sex.'' The study of 599 college students, who were interviewed in 1991, found that 59 percent of them did not consider oral-genital contact as having ``had sex.'' Clinton said during his grand jury testimony that oral sex was not one of the acts covered in his definition of sexual relations. He is accused of lying about his relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and trying to cover it up. June M. Reinisch, author of the article, said Lundberg told her this morning he was fired because he published the research. ``I'm absolutely shocked,'' said Reinisch, retired director of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction in Bloomington, Ind., which conducted the research. ``This may have to do with issues of academic freedom,'' she added in a telephone interview. ``There was nothing unusual about this paper.'' The AMA had no immediate comment, though sources close to the organization confirmed that the article was the reason for the firing because it appeared politically timed to coincide with Clinton's trial. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ A<>E<>R The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Forwarded as information only; no endorsement to be presumed + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only.
