...Brits aren't very good at just having a few drinks and relaxing. As a culture, they really enjoy binge drinking to the point when they're completely insensible. And this has been a theme throughout the decades for them - throughout the centuries, really...
...course, most Slow Foodies aren't arguing that we should eat only organic arugula. In its broadest sense, the movement is trying to get people to stop and really think about what's on their plate and how it got there. In the end, Slow Food is more interested in producing better-tasting food than leading a jihad against chemical fertilizers, and there's something to be said for appealing to the stomach to get to the head...
...cancer isn't one disease; it's dozens of them, each with different mechanisms that make the fight diabolically difficult. The most pernicious forms of cancer--among them, pancreatic, lung and brain--are still nearly invincible. Survival rates in rare forms of cancer aren't budging much, either. And the cancer arsenal is still heavy on the blunderbuss--blasting the body with harsh chemotherapy and radiation that take a huge toll on healthy as well as diseased tissue. Nor has the national health-care system done a great job of prevention and early detection. Worst of all, many people...
...Aren't we making a lot of progress? Absolutely. In a lot of places. When you adjust for age (since cancer is over-represented in the elderly), fewer people are getting cancer, and those who get it are surviving longer. We are benefiting from improved surgical techniques as well as more refined chemotherapies and radiation strategies that use lasers and robots to target cancer cells.

"The rate of discovery has been phenomenal," says Dr. Harold Varmus, CEO of Memorial Sloan...
...Livestrong ride, run and walk in the Philadelphia area, some 5,000 people took part on a beautiful summer day to raise $3 million for the LAF. "These aren't fun runs," says Armstrong. "They are very emotional, tearful times." Some participants had cancer; some were survivors. And most of those who rode by bore on their backs the names of dead relatives, a rolling graveyard passing through the placid Pennsylvania countryside...
