Serious Health Problems In Los Angeles' Inner City

"Ten years after riots burned through the inner city here, Los Angeles is marking the occasion with a cascade of speeches, and to a remarkable degree, the talk is rosy. But several experts argue that these assessments ignore what is a potentially more revealing, and troubling, window into the basic well-being of these still-blighted communities. The area has some of the most widespread and chronic health problems in this huge county, and it is facing these concerns as the Los Angeles County Health Department is preparing to reduce its budget sharply and possibly lay off staff members."
