...just in it for the money,” Harvard Students for Romney Director Christopher W. Higgins ’10 said. “There are probably easier ways to make money somewhere as opposed to campaign fundraising.” Ari S. Ruben ’08, co-director of Harvard Students for Hillary, criticized the Romney program, saying he believes it is geared toward students attending more affluent institutions. “I think that it over-emphasizes money,” Ruben said. “It may work business-wise—Mr. Romney...
...Breast cancer is the model for treating cancer as a chronic disease, largely because it's the focus of so much research and drug development. "We have a ton of drugs that work for breast cancer - eight or nine - more than for any other cancer," says Dr. Christy Russell, co-director of the Norris Breast Center at the University of Southern California. The approach for someone with metastatic disease like Elizabeth Edwards, says Russell, is to use a drug until it stops working - as it almost inevitably will - and then switch to something else, possibly buying years of relatively good...
...stripped of its carbon, leaving mostly hydrogen behind. The alternative is to pulverize coal as power-plant operators do now but then rely on new hardware to separate the CO2 after burning. Both methods are at least 20 years away from being fully developed, predicts Ernest Moniz, co-director of the M.I.T. Laboratory for Energy and the Environment and a former Under Secretary of the Department of Energy. "We're very early in the process," he says...
...This is not a virgin cancer," explains Dr. Christy Russell, co-director of the Norris breast center at the University of Southern California. "These are cancer cells that survived the fight with chemotherapy." Doctors commonly say that the average survival for breast cancer that recurs and spreads after treatment is two to three years, but "there's a huge lack of statistics in this circumstance," says Russell, who chairs the breast cancer advisory committee for the American Cancer Society. For a patient like Edwards, who is 57, the response to renewed treatment will depend on the specific and unknown genetic...
...Prisoner is a wee little movie, only 72 minutes long, and it is very minimalist in approach - three interviews, a little action footage shot by Yunis and Tucker, with comic book cartoons (by co-director Epperlein) filling in the visual gaps in the story (a much more honest approach than using impersonal stock footage and a lot of pompous narration). But this punctiliousness, this refusal to inflate, grants it a large measure of persuasive power. You believe it precisely because it makes no claims it cannot document and, more important, because you imagine yourself in his sandals, trying desperately...
