...side - a polite, almost stolid youth who, as his story unfolds through the prodding of the psychiatrist tasked with finding the motivation for his horrific crime, is transported into religio-sexual ecstasy in the presence of his equine gods. In a Broadway season when neophytes from Katie Holmes to Cedric the Entertainer are making their stage debuts, Radcliffe transcends stunt casting. He holds his own nicely opposite Richard Griffiths, the portly, Tony-winning star of The History Boys, who makes the psychiatrist, Dr. Martin Dysart, an empathetic if less charismatic figure than some actors (Anthony Hopkins, Richard Burton) who have...
...Good news came first from a devil named Cedric. When tests showed that he had a different MHC type from eastern devils, Cedric was injected with dead tumor cells. The researchers were elated when his body began fighting them. Last December he was injected with live tumor cells. So far, he's still healthy. The Special Six, caught last year, also have MHC types not seen in the east, says immunologist Woods, who's based at the University of Tasmania. "It's never happened before that a disease has spread through a population without some animals being resistant - even Ebola...
...problem is that no one knows how long the incubation period for facial tumor disease is. But every week that passes without Cedric falling sick makes Woods sleep better: "I'm quite confident now that he's immune." Hamish McCallum, the University of Tasmania ecologist coordinating the scientific effort to save the species, is hopeful too, but "we're not in any position, on the basis of one individual, to say we know what's going on," he says. "It's too early to unfurl the 'mission accomplished' banner." If Cedric or any of the Special Six do prove resistant...
...Australian mainland, where, after all, they once roamed? Smith says the Save the Devil steering committee has informally discussed that; he thinks "it's a good idea to find out more about it." Those who oppose ecological tinkering are unlikely to support such a bold experiment. Of course, if Cedric or any of the Special Six stay well, it could be the need for such measures, rath-er than their species, that disappears...
...truth, or at least personal revelation, does matter to Ludlow. An ex-partner of his has been killed in a bodega massacre that implicates Tom, and damned if he won't find out whodunit. This will involve getting info on the perps by grilling hood denizens (including Cedric "the Entertainer" Kyles in a fun turn), tangling with a skeptical Internal Affairs Captain (Hugh Laurie, essentially playing House on the streets) and leaving enough corpses in his wake to make the City of Angels seem like Baghdad-on-the-Pacific. It's L.A.P.D.-lirious...
