TEMPO Survey: Only a third honest about survival TO 1 it ion hi DP 05 i well-meaning falsehood. Dr. Nicholas Christakis, a co-author of the study, said many patients die in pain, institutionalized and broke. "I firmly believe that a lot of these deficits could be partially addressed if people had access to more reliable prognostic information," he said. "Part of the reason we die badly is because we don't see death coming and we don't plan accordingly." Dr.

Christakis said patients need reliable information so they can get their finances in order, redo their wills, decide whether to enter experimental drug studies or ask family members to take time off from work to care for them. The study involved 258 doctors caring for 326 cancer patients who were entering five Chicago hospices. When asked by the researchers, nearly all the doctors were willing to estimate their patients' survival time. But when asked what they would say if the patients insisted on knowing these predictions, only about one-third of the doctors said they would give a truthful answer. One-quarter said they would refuse to answer at all, saying something like, "Only God knows." Another 40 percent said they would give an inaccurate estimate.

Nearly three-quarters of these doctors would sugarcoat the answer. Ex-wrestler knows the pro ropes Les Thatcher is an ex-wrestler with a firm command of the professional game.

Haney The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS Terminally ill cancer patients rarely get a straight answer when they ask doctors how long they have to live, a new survey suggests. Researchers found that doctors are likely to be overly optimistic about their patients' outlooks or simply refuse to say.

Only about one-third are willing to give patients their best guess. The research, presented Saturday at the meeting of the American Society for Clinical Oncology, suggests that not only are doctors bad at making predictions, they are also uncomfortable passing the information to the people they treat. One researcher, Dr. Elizabeth Lamont of the University of Chicago, said the doctors' lack of candor is probably well-intentioned. They fear the truth may harm their patients, perhaps by becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"It shows a lot of caring and not malice," she said. Still, the doctors argue that honesty is probably better for their patients than a Wf AfMrr Both sides claim their own victories By Jackie Demaline The Cincinnati Enquirer A rt vs. obscenity made great A live drama in Cincinnati 10 years ago, when Dennis Barrie and the Contem- 1 JJ porary Arts Center were indicted for pandering obscenity hours after the opening of the photography exhibit, Robert Mapplethorpe: The Perfect Moment. In question were seven portraits, mostly of sadomasochistic acts. These were the Dirty Pictures that give Showtime's made-for-television film (9 p.m.

Saturday) its name. Mr. Barrie and the arts center he directed were acquitted in a much-publicized trial six months after the indictment But the arts, and public arts funding, remained a point of contention throughout the 1990s as politicians debated the value of art in society and the need for the government to sponsor it A decade later the verdict is in, pleasing groups on most sides of the debate: Arts supporters have been able to deflect efforts to eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts, the federal agency that had granted money to museums featuring the art Nationally, state and local support for the arts has grown consistently since the end of a mini-recession in 1992. Ultimately, arts groups say they were forced to unify and become politically active, taking the arts into American communities and schools. Watchdog group Citizens for Community Values, which organized the protest against Map-plethorpe's exhibit claims victory, too.

"The original intent of the awareness campaign was to get the attention of the Contemporary 'Arts Center and ask them to act responsibly," says Phil Burress, head of the group.
