Lunch, like breakfast, was served by the caterer. The grill would offer spicy chicken breast or pork chops with mango chutney, maybe filet mignon or king crab legs, perhaps lobster tail or salmon filets. Then there were vegetables: asparagus, fresh corn, artichokes; pastas; tons of salads; and an ample dessert selection. Some bypassed the caterer's options and went straight to the craft service truck, which was fully stocked with deli meats, cheeses, bread and whatever else you might need to make the sandwich of your dreams...
Lilith, at the show in George, proved to be a safe, sacred spot. Here were teenage girls in cutoff jeans and bikini tops, middle-aged moms in baggy T shirts and running shoes. Here a woman breast-fed her baby during Jewel's set; here fans sat dead-quiet, listening to the lyrics. Here a woman wore a T shirt marked "dyke" with a parodic Nike swoosh, while two other women walked comfortably hand in hand. Here a man in a concession-stand line talked excitedly about Sarah McLachlan's songwriting skills. Said Shellie Knawa, 30, a Seattle computer-manual...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: President Clinton presented legislation today which would bar health insurance companies from denying people health coverage on the basis of their genetic inheritance. With genetic testing for killers like breast cancer on the rise, such discrimination is "a life-threatening abuse of a potentially life-saving discovery," Clinton said. The President's remarks were echoed in a Department of Health and Human Services task force report which cautions that the benefits of genetic testing may never be realized if Americans decline them out of fear the information may be used against them. Clinton's legislation builds on existing...
Estrogen users with family histories of breast cancer, on the other hand, did better than many might have expected, scoring a 35% drop in overall mortality. There could be many reasons for this, says Grodstein. For one thing, heart attacks and strokes are more likely to be immediately lethal, so preventing them adds up to longer survival. For another, women on hormone therapy tend to be more closely monitored; their cancers are likely to be detected earlier...
Women who stayed on estrogen for more than 10 years, however, derived a more modest benefit. Reason? Their risk of dying from breast cancer shot up 43%, enough to offset the positive effects of estrogen, Grodstein says, but not enough to eliminate them entirely. Despite the rise in breast-cancer deaths, the researchers found that long-term estrogen users still had a 20% lower death rate. Over the coming years, Grodstein and her colleagues hope to find out what happens when women use estrogen for even longer periods. Does their breast-cancer risk continue to rise, or does it level...
