By contrast, the taxoids--including taxol, the compound isolated from the bark of the yew tree that was approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a weapon against ovarian cancer in 1992--cause the same suicidal result by deactivating a molecular machine that, just before cell division, separates the DNA in each chromosome into two separate strands.

"All the dogs hated him," recalled Rick Christian, 48, a longtime local. "They'd chase him, bark at him, growl at him when he walked or rode his bike. I had to call them off him before...
