...bidding for Conoco continues to rise because of the company's huge treasure chest of natural resources. Conoco has oil drilling rigs from the Gulf of Mexico to the South China Sea, coal mines from West Virginia to Alberta, natural gas wells from Texas to the North Sea and uranium deposits from New Mexico to Niger.

In women with early breast cancer, an estimated 5% to 10% of the 110,000 new cases diagnosed last year in the U.S., "radical mastectomy appears to involve unnecessary mutilation," say the researchers. For women with more advanced cancers, most doctors recommend removing the breast but leaving the chest muscles intact...
