Report says Phoenix VA hospital
delayed care for 1,700 veterans
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — About 1,700
veterans in need of care were “at
risk of being lost or forgotten”
after being kept off the official
waiting list at the troubled Phoenix
veterans hospital, the Veterans
Affairs watchdog said Wednesday
in a scathing report that increases
pressure on Secretary Eric Shinseki
to resign.
The investigation, initially
focused on the Phoenix hospital,
found systemic problems in the
VA’s sprawling nationwide system,
which provides medical care to
about 6.5 million veterans each
year. The interim report confirmed
allegations of excessive waiting
time for care in Phoenix, with an
average 115-day wait for a first
appointment for those on the
waiting list — 91 days longer than
the hospital had reported.
“While our work is not complete,
we have substantiated that significant delays in access to care nega-
tively impacted the quality of care at
this medical facility,” Richard J.
Griffin, the department’s acting
inspector general, wrote in the
35-page report. It found that “inappropriate scheduling practices are
systemic throughout” the VA’s 1,700
health facilities nationwide, including
150 hospitals and 820 clinics.
Griffin said 42 centers are
under investigation, up from 26.
Three Senate Democrats facing
tough election campaigns —
Colorado’s Mark Udall, Montana’s
John Walsh and Kay Hagan of
North Carolina — called for
Shinseki to leave. “We need new
leadership who will demand
accountability to fix these problems,” Udall said in a statement.
Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., Rep.
Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif.,
and Arizona’s two Republican
senators, John McCain and Jeff
Flake, also called for Shinseki to
step down. Miller and McCain
also said Attorney General Eric
Holder should launch a criminal
investigation into the VA.

Cultural
pioneer
Angelou
dies at 86
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Maya Angelou’s
story awed millions. A childhood
victim of rape, she broke through
silence and shame to tell her tale
in one of the most widely read
memoirs of the
20th century. A
black woman
born into poverty and segregation,
she
recited
the
most popular
presidential
inaugural poem
in history.
“I’m
not
Angelou
modest,” she
told
The
Associated Press in 2013. “I have
no modesty. Modesty is a learned
behavior. But I do pray for
humility, because humility comes
from the inside out.”
Angelou, a renaissance woman
and cultural pioneer, died
Wednesday at her home in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
She was 86.
“She lived a life as a teacher,
activist, artist and human being.
She was a warrior for equality,
tolerance and peace,” said her
son, Guy B. Johnson.
Tall and regal, with a deep,
majestic voice, she was unforgettable whether encountered in
person, through sound or the
printed word. She was an actress,
singer and dancer in the 1950s
and 1960s and made a brave and
sensational debut as an author in
1969 with “I Know Why the Caged
Bird Sings,” which became standard (and occasionally censored)
reading and made Angelou one of
the first black women to enjoy
mainstream literary success.
“Caged Bird” was the start of a
multipart autobiography that continued through the decades and captured a life of hopeless obscurity and
triumphant, kaleidoscopic fame.
The world was watching in 1993
when she read her cautiously
hopeful “On the Pulse of Morning”
at President Bill Clinton’s first
inauguration. Her confident performance openly delighted
Clinton and made publishing history by making a poem a bestseller. For President George W.
Bush, she read another poem,
“Amazing Peace,” at the 2005
Christmas tree lighting ceremony
at the White House. Presidents
honored her in return with a
National Medal of Arts and the
Presidential Medal of Freedom,
the country’s highest civilian
honor. In 2013, she received an
honorary National Book Award.
She called herself a poet, in
love with the “sound of language,”
“the music in language,” as she
explained to the AP in 2013. But
she lived so many lives. She was a
wonder to Toni Morrison, who
marveled at Angelou’s freedom
from inhibition, her willingness
to celebrate her own achievements. She was a mentor to Oprah
Winfrey, whom she befriended
when Winfrey was still a local
television reporter, and often
appeared on her friend’s talk
show program.
