PRUNING POLYPS Superaspirin to the rescue? Preliminary findings suggest that COX-2 inhibitors--the arthritis-fighting "superaspirin"--may one day help prevent colon cancer. Researchers administered high doses to patients with familial adenomatous polyposis--a devastating disease in which the colon can become so overrun with polyps that the entire organ must be removed. After six months, the number of potentially malignant polyps was reduced 25%. If COX-2 inhibitors can work in such extreme cases, researchers hope they can prevent polyps in patients with a mere predisposition to colon cancer...
...pretty good match. Baldwin nicely tamps down his natural charisma to get at a good man's frustration in abiding by the stern moral rules that he set for the tribunal. In melodrama, of course, the villains always win; they're the ones who get to strut. Thus Brian Cox, as Goering, has his drollest mass-murderer role since he played Hannibal Lecter in the 1986 Manhunter; and Herbert Knaup (of Run, Lola, Run) is a handsomely conflicted Albert Speer...

(The aforementioned "Cox," of course, refers to Braves manager Bobby Cox.) One man proudly displayed a sign meant to read, "How do you spell Ignorant? R-O-C-K-E-R." (Unfortunately, the sign spelled ignorant, "ingorant.") Rocker's name has been sullied, booed and hissed more than any athlete...
...Music episodes. The priest's collar is her latest zag. After years of criticizing Roman Catholicism (including infamously ripping up a picture of Pope John Paul II on Saturday Night Live in 1992), she decided last year to be ordained as a priest by controversial Irish clergyman Bishop Michael Cox, the leader of a tiny religious sect. However, O'Connor hasn't quite joined mainstream Catholicism. Cox has come under fire in the past for reportedly offering confession over the telephone. And according to Des Cryan, assistant director of the Catholic Press and Information Office in Dublin, Cox's "holy...
...Four top aides in the Nixon administration resign, and 10 days later, the Pentagon Papers trial is dismissed after it is revealed that Nixon aides broke into the office of Ellsberg's psychiatrist. 18 - The Justice Department appoints Law School professor Archilbald Cox '34 special Watergate prosecutor...
