...doctors come to grips with cancer's complexity--and discard the dream of discovering a "magic bullet" capable of eradicating the disease forever--a succession of small, incremental improvements shows promise of pushing the death rate down. Already doctors have learned how to keep the disease at bay for months, and sometimes even to produce complete remissions that may last for years. "We're running a marathon, not a sprint," observes Dr. Eugenie Kleinerman, a pediatric oncologist at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. "What's important is not how fast we run the first two miles but when...
...criminal are natural enemies. Keats believes Moses put a bullet in his head; Moses thinks Keats betrayed him for the sake of a cheap bust. But as they drive around the desert, dodging machine-gun fire and stepping into plotholes of delirious implausibility, the two men get into tough-guy bonding at its wettest. Moses has no girlfriend, and Keats' has an ulterior agenda. After a while the standard gross-out talk of action movies--the gay-baiting gags and threats of fellatio--makes for an odd subtext.

There is no evidence that the new Coors policy is "licking" at the foundations of Golden, Colorado, one of the most heavily organized Christian communities in the U.S. It has not caused the Rocky Mountains or the share price to tumble, and a Silver Bullet is still a Silver Bullet.

The Miami Heat led the charge, reportedly signing Washington Bullet forward Juwan Howard to a seven-year, $98 million contract, and then making its own center, Alonzo Mourning, the only $100-million man in professional sports. Mourning has reportedly agreed to a seven-year, $112-million deal. Close behind the Heat, the New York Knicks rebuilt their entire team in one afternoon...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Three years ago, 15-year-old Louis Brown of Boston was killed by a stray bullet as he headed to a Christmas party sponsored by a local anti-gang group. On Monday, Louis's parents were at the White House to see President Clinton announce a Federal program that will document and trace weapons sold to youths. Under Clinton's plan, information on guns confiscated from juveniles in 17 cities will be entered into a federal computer database. Then, ATF agents and local police can trace the guns back to the original sellers using documents and serial numbers...
