LANEHQUA K. BULLOCK LaNehqua K. Bullock (Nikki) of Indianapolis has been named the Marion County March of Dimes poster child. The seven-year-old youngster was born with a partial

life limb.

As a Marion County poster child, Nikki will go to March of Dimes promotions/fundraisers and com munity activities to share her ex

research, medical services and education for prevention of birth defects, the nation’s number one child health problem. Nikki was born July 7, 1978, and is in the second grade at School No. 90. She has two brothers, Kevin, 13 and Kerry, II. She enjoys singing and dancing as well as watching the Cosby Show. Nikki’s favorite past time is eating and enjoys chicken, mashed potatoes, greens and tossed

salad.

Kimberly Bullock, Nikki’s mother, works in the Indianapolis Public Schools Supply Department. Nikki’s father, James T. Bullock, works for Indiana Bell. Nikki is afraid of most animals but has a love for goldfish.

A new fatal disease, linked to the AIDS virus and producing extreme weight loss, has been found in heterosexuals in Africa. This new infirmity, known as the “slim disease,” resembles AIDS in many ways as both share some of the same symptoms. However, researchers report that AIDS does not generally produce the extreme weight loss and' diarrhea seen in “slim disease.”

Davis refused. The officer repeated the order. Davis again did not heed the warning. Heckel fired a single shot and Davis fell, Ms. Smith said. “I was talking to his (Davis’) mother on the phone at the time of the shooting,” she explained. “I told her the police had shot Don-

I hope it would not be tod presumptuous to suggest that the most logical successor to Goldsmith would be Dave Cook, who has hem Mr. Everything for the prosecutor’s office: chief trial deputy, chief investigator, name it.
