...memory. Ripley's self-imposed handicap shows in the dialogue. Mitchell gave her sardonic hero the best lines, hard- bitten and vivid in the Raymond Chandler style. "I've seen eyes like yours above a dueling pistol," he says to Scarlett. "They evoke no ardor in the male breast." Ripley's Rhett is frequently wordy and inelegant: "You're dead weight -- unlettered, uncivilized, Catholic, and an exile from everything decent in Atlanta. You could blow up in my face any minute...
With nowhere else to go, many African Americans rely on the local emergency room for all their medical needs. "The emergency room may treat a patient's pneumonia, but it won't do a Pap smear or screen a woman for breast cancer," says Dr. Marc Rivo, director of the division of medicine at the Department of Health and Human Services. Without early detection, more than half of black women with breast cancer admitted to Harlem Hospital are already incurable, in contrast to 8% of whites at a nearby facility...
BROCCOLI. This member of the cabbage family is rich in a little-known substance called indole carbinol, which breaks down estrogen, a hormone that seems to promote the development of certain breast tumors. Scientists believe about a cup of broccoli every other day could contain enough indole carbinol to prevent the growths. So far, research has shown a pronounced effect on mice; preliminary studies are being carried out on 50 women who are at high risk for such cancers. Broccoli and its relatives also contain beta carotene, a substance that could help ward off lung, throat and bladder cancer...
...blood fats, including cholesterol, among people who consumed the equivalent of one clove of garlic a day. The active compounds are probably the same sulfur derivatives that give garlic its distinctive odor. Other studies suggest that sulfur compounds may suppress the development of stomach cancer in humans and breast cancer in laboratory animals. Garlic does not have to be eaten raw, but deep frying and high heat could destroy its active ingredients. If the idea of fresh garlic is just too malodorous, a German-based company markets a tablet form, which it claims is scent free...
...Florida case as a law-enforcement debacle. "I was personally | infuriated," Blum said. He argued that the plea bargain gave B.C.C.I. immunity from future prosecutions based on evidence in the case -- a charge that Justice disputes. Von Raab, sporting a yellow handkerchief that drooped flower-like from his breast pocket, called the settlement "a shameless agreement" and "a disaster in terms of the punishment that should have been meted out." He said B.C.C.I. had raked in some $200 million from the money- laundering scheme, which undercover customs agents exposed in a sting operation...
