PITTSBURGH TUESDAY TAKES

JUST THE FACTS:

Renee Cox, the executive director of Prevention Point Pittsburgh, 
says critics of the privately funded needle-exchange program for 
junkies - an illegal act in Pennsylvania but allowed to take place at 
the Allegheny County Health Department - need to look beyond their 
emotions and face the facts. Such as the fact that there's no hard 
evidence that the program reduces the very infections it is designed 
to stop, Ms. Cox?
