...after the diagnosis of acute leukemia, was well under a year. Now, with half-a-dozen palliative but no curative drugs available, the average survival time is about five years in major medical centers, and a handful of patients have held on for ten years or longer. The harsh fact remains, however, that a diagnosis of leukemia-cancer of the blood-is still an almost certain sentence of death, no matter how long deferred...
...just what is the emotional effect of a child's leukemia on the parents, on siblings and on the victim himself. More important, the researchers wanted to find out what could be done to reduce the impact. That something needed to be done was obvious from the fact that in at least one half of the 20 families studied, some relative had required psychiatric care...
...surface, Geel looks like any other country town in northern Belgium. Its cobbled marketplace is surrounded by 15th century homes and shops; its neat brick farmhouses look much the same as they did in Brueghel's day.

Although many of the same people recur in each of his films -Lola, for example, was both the subject and the title of his first feature-they have about as much depth as wallpaper. Indeed, Demy uses his characters like wallpaper, merely as human interior decoration. Anouk Aimee is lovely and gracious as Lola, but her seductive simplicity is too hard-edged for Demy's blurry art nouveau. Dressed...
