...struck up a chant in the Lakota language. As each warrior passed by, he blessed him and painted a slash or a circle of red powder under the left eye. Each warrior then stepped into a white tepee, making a holy sign over the bleached skull of a buffalo head...
...professional sports, "expansion team" usually means pushover. The handy euphemism applies to a new franchise that is expected to spend the better part of a decade trying to "expand" an assortment of castoffs and apprentices into a respectable team. Not in Buffalo, however. In only their third year in the National Hockey League, the Buffalo Sabres have a chance to win a Stanley Cup play-off berth.

He has also experimented with vaccines made from tumors similar to those of the patient, injecting the substance into cancer victims in the hope of triggering not a general immune reaction but one that is specifically directed against the cancer. Of those patients who responded immunologically, most showed marked improvement...
