...same name?comes out in August and stars Shingo Katori, of the popular boy band SMAP, as an overearnest ninja who moves from a feudal village to modern Tokyo, where he serves a nine-year-old master. Hattori speaks in outdated formalities, struggles to maintain the ninja code of self-concealment in the crowded city, and ends up in all sorts of trouble. The other big-ticket remake now in the works is Tetsujin 28-go (Iron Man 28), based on one of Japan's oldest and best-loved comics, which ran from 1956-66 and was also made into...
After a doctor identifies a cancer and chooses a combination of drugs to combat it, there is still no guarantee that the drugs will work. That's because no two patients are alike. Subtle differences in their genetic code often determine how well a cancer drug will be tolerated and how quickly it will be broken down in the body. Some people produce enzymes that can neutralize the more toxic side effects of anticancer drugs, while others either lack such agents or have genes that produce the opposite effect, making them more sensitive to the drug's adverse effects.

By the end of Reagan's term, the ground had shifted to the point that it became all but impossible for politicians to propose big new spending programs in the face of so much red ink. "Reagan's policies," said Stanford economist Michael Boskin, "were all designed to do what public policy...

So while Bush often looked ready to play golf, the others seemed like traveling executives settling in for cocktail hour. Food was a preferred topic, as Chirac complimented Bush on the cheeseburger he'd been served, and Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi praised the Italians, sort of. "I love Italy! Berlusconi! Spaghetti!" he said, waving his arms. The place was hungry for good humor. - By John F. Dickerson Second Time Lucky?
