...authors, headed by Dr. Robert Hoover of the National Cancer Institute, conceded that the statistics must be examined with caution. But the general conclusion was clear: while the incidence of breast cancer changes imperceptibly if at all during the first few years on estrogen medication, it may rise sharply after ten years and it almost doubles after 15 years. But duration of treatment is not the only factor. The doses taken and the dosage schedule are also important. Harvard Gynecologist Robert Kistner reviewed the latest report judiciously.

Just one caution: people may be laughing so hard all around you that, to hear the word, close attention will have to be paid. Silent Movie is brassy, incautious, funny without mercy. For laughter, Brooks gives no quarter, and he disdains the small change. As ever, he is out to break the bank...
