...cell lung cancers. Scientists at Stanford University took the concept even further. They were able to isolate stem cells from breast-cancer tumors and identify a genetic signature that allowed them to predict the progression of the disease. "Everybody wants to talk about cancer stem cells now," says John Dick, a University of Toronto professor and one of the leading researchers in the field. "From funding agencies to institutions to scientists, people are recognizing that this is probably the game...
...Scientists are starting with what they know, analyzing the proteins that stud the surface of normal stem cells and looking for proteins unique to the cancerous cells. So far, leukemia experts have the edge, working from the knowledge of blood stem cells they have been building since the 1940s. Dick's group in Toronto was the first to identify a protein, CD34, as a potential screen for leukemia stem cells. He showed that tumor cells with plenty of CD34, when injected into mice, flowered into cancerous growths. Leukemia cells without the protein, by contrast, did nothing...

...Rumsfeld to resign rather than force Bush to fire him. But several well-placed Republicans say that Rumsfeld's fate may be as much in the hands of the Vice President as in the President's. Although Rumsfeld is more responsible than any other man for the rise of Dick Cheney during the 1970s, their roles have since reversed, and now the protégé is protecting the mentor. Between the two of them, Cheney and Rumsfeld have run the Pentagon for almost 12 of the last 32 years. It's the federal agency each knows best, and neither...
...hear what happened at the Washington Nationals game? Dick Cheney was there; he threw out the first pitch and was booed. He said he was surprised--he thought he'd be greeted as a liberator with flowers and candy." DAVID LETTERMAN...
