Brown, author of The Death of the Messiah (Doubleday; 1,608 pages; $75), which re-examines this and dozens of other issues on the crucifixion. "Jesus was a Jew and he dealt with Jewish leaders. So the easy solution that it was an entirely Roman affair doesn't work."

Until that time, patients almost always had the entire breast removed -- a mastectomy. But the new research showed that a less disfiguring procedure called lumpectomy -- in which only the tissue surrounding the tumor is cut out -- is just as effective when the cancer is in its early stages...
