I 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, April 7, 1998 APPLE Continued from Page 1 excitement about industrial organization," Adams said. Adams also lectured about his interest in the European economy. He spent a year in France with his family - a time he called "magical." "By the time I began traveling to Europe with my wife, I knew France better than the United States, and I spoke French fluently," Adams said. Both of Adams' sons, Matthew and Zachary, were influ- enced by the year the family spent in Aix-en-Provence. Matthew acquired a fleeting French accent, and Zachary mixed French and English together in his speech. The link between beer and the economy was another topic of Adams' speech. Although Adams said he prefers French wine, he spoke about the tariffs between Germany and the Dutch in 1968. "As a result, even though many people in this room might be prepared to swear on a stack of six-packs that Heineken makes a pretty good beer, the Dutch brewer could not nec- essarily sell its brew legally in Germany," Adams said. Adams discussed his admiration for some of the previous NATION WORLD Golden Apple winners who were in attendance for the lec- ture. "Being placed with professors I admire such as Sidney Fine, Ralph Williams and Eric Mann is a tremendous honor," Adams said. "I also think its especially important since the students choose the award." Williams, who won the award in 1992, said he enjoyed the personal nature of Adams' lecture. "I thought it was deeply interesting to the extent that he reflected on the formation of his own mind," Williams said. That more intimate look at Adams through his lecture was of interest to most of his students, but some in attendance said they did not appreciate it as much. "I thought it was pretty interesting, but I thought it was a lit- tle pompous," said LSA first-year student Amanda Hultin, who has never had a class with Adams. "He seemed to be bragging." Other students said they like the personal touch of his last lecture. "I thought it was cool that it was personal," said LSA senior Jeffrey Baker, who took an economics class with Adams. "I think he's extremely bright and I enjoyed figuring more out about his experiences and philosophies." DRUG Continued from Page 1 Nevertheless, tests of the drug, first reported this past weekend, mark "the first time in history that we have evidence that breast cancer can not only be treated, but also pre- vented," said Dr. Bernard Fisher, an Allegheny University professor and scientific director of the study that involved more than 13,000 women. Tamoxifen has been used for 25 years to treat breast cancer, but the study is the first to show the drug can prevent the disease in some women. The drug is known as an "anti- estrogen" because it blocks the effects of the hormone in some tis- sues and retards growth of cancer cells that depend upon estrogen. Federal officials said the breast cancer benefits from the drug are so clear that they cut short a long-term clinical trial and notified the 13,388 women participants of the findings. The 6,707 women in the study who had been taking a placebo, or dummy drug, will be told they could now start taking tamoxifen, officials said. ARtOUND THE NATION Court refuses to shield tobacco memo WASHINGTON- Tobacco companies lost their fight to keep some of thei most closely guarded documents secret yesterday when the Supreme Court denie cigarette makers' emergency request to keep them confidential. As a result, the industry sent more than 100 boxes containing 39,000 documents including secret communications among industry law firms and between the com panies' lawyers and executives, to lawyers for the state of Minnesota and BI Cross and Blue Shield, which are suing the tobacco industry. The papers co begin appearing in court as early as tomorrow. "This landmark decision puts an end to the most egregious corporate fraud i American history" Minnesota Attorney General Hubert Humphrey Ill said in statement. The industry also delivered copies to Rep. Thomas Bliley Jr. (R-Va.) who ha demanded the documents as Congress grapples with tobacco legislation. Blile said he would conduct a bipartisan review of the documents and hopes to releas them to the public on the Internet. The documents could play a pivotal role in congressional debate over nationa tobacco legislation. Last year, the release of documents suggesting that R. Reynolds Tobacco Co. for years had targeted teen-agers in its marketing inte fied the opposition to granting the industry broad protection from lawsuits. See More. Spend Less.

Citicorp, Travelers agree on merger Citicorp and Travelers Group yester- day struck a $82 billion deal that would create the world's largest financial ser- vices company and change the face of banking in the United States and abroad. The merger - double the previous record of $37 billion - stunned Wall Street and quickly raised concerns from consumer groups, bank experts and lawmakers because it would chal- lenge Depression-era laws barring banks, securities and insurance firms from getting into one another's busi- nesses. Citibank is the nation's second- largest bank, and Travelers is the parent of Salomon Smith Barney Inc. Assuming the regulatory hurdles can be cleared, the combined entity will usher in a new era in financial services in which global financial supermarkets battle for customers by providing "one- stop" shopping. Consumers eventually could take out life insurance, buy stocks, pay bills and obtain credit cards, all with a phone call or a visit t a branch office. "This is a transforming merger," sai( John Reed, Citicorp's chairman an chief executive, who will serve as co chairman and co-chief executive witi Travelers' chairman and chief execu tive, Sanford Weill.

Palestinian officials said five mem- bers of Hamas's Izz el-Din al-Qassam military wing were under arrest in con- nection with the killing and a sixth was still at large. Hamas rejected the findings as "lies" and renewed threats to avenge Sharif's death. "They told us the same story they gave to the media, which is that they arrested five Hamas people who are behind th assassination of Sharif," Abdel Azi Rantisi, a Hamas political leade said after Palestinian official briefed him on the investigation Gaza City. "We told them that th an unacceptable story."
