...withered and custom staled the essence of this superman. The impact of the accent has long worn off, and has indeed entered the lexicon of pop culture as a metaphor for “tough guy.” The fabled musculature, while still incredible on a man of 54, has lost some of its vitality and much of its novelty. Bodybuilders are de rigeur on ESPN2, and Arnold’s very success in popularizing the sport has ironically decreased its uniqueness. The current roster of action stars no longer includes six-foot Aryan walls of muscle (though funny...
...they’ve taken in recent years. For everyone else, it’s an interesting diversion at best. The elaborate fold-out package reflects the band’s artistic pretenses, with exquisite photographs of the band members, their family and friends and some of their infamous custom percussion instruments.

Researchers are heartened by their preliminary success with a more complicated regimen, in which inoculations are custom-made from--and for--each patient.

The vaccines they used were made of dendritic cells harvested from the patients themselves and mixed with a protein found on colon and lung tumors. These were then put back into the patients. "Our hope is to make these vaccines more potent and to try them in earlier-stage disease, possibly even using them...
...first weekend of October, the Bush family had revived its custom of having friends come to Camp David. The President was acting goofy and being a cutup, as he often is around old chums. Saturday he disappeared with Condoleezza Rice and issued the order sending bombers to Afghanistan from bases in Missouri and from Diego Garcia, in the Indian Ocean. On Sunday morning Attorney General John Ashcroft sat at the piano and played a range of Southern spirituals while Hughes, Rice, the President and the First Lady joined in the singing. The President would soon be back at the White...
