GRAPEVINE, Page 23So What's New?
By SOPHFRONIA SCOTT GREGORY
The U.S. Census Bureau has benn quite sensitive lately to
the question of how it releases reports, even going so far as
to downplay the release of potentially embarrassing data. So
more than a few eyebrows rose when the bureau went out of its
way to make news organizations aware of some fresh statistics
that could prove embarrassing to Democratic presidential
candidate Bill Clinton. Census officials faxed to reporters
rankings of states and their various measures of social and
economic well-being, in which Arkansas ranked poorly. The bureau
denies any political motives. It's not as if the information was
surprising: Arkansas has long been near the bottom of the
economic rankings.
