...every 4 cancer survivors has faced some form of job difficulty, ranging from reduced wages or benefits to summary dismissal. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which is being phased in this year, will give cancer victims explicit federal protection against on-the-job discrimination. That part of the law was largely the result of spirited lobbying by a growing network of grassroots survivor organizations. The National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship, an umbrella organization based in Albuquerque, N. Mex., now boasts the membership of 400 different groups across...

George Bush made it as explicit as possible: Unlike Vietnam, he said, American troops in Iraq would not fight "with one arm tied behind their backs." As if that were the problem in Vietnam...
