...Ferber, a Los Angeles prosecutor specializing in animal-abuse cases, the Glivec experience was very much the same. Less than two years ago, he was lying in a hospital room considering suicide to escape the pain radiating from his bones. "From crawling across the floor on my knees to go to the bathroom, I'm now back at work," says Ferber, 48. "I go to the gym. I'm volunteering for an animal-rescue group. I have a girlfriend. It's the dream of any cancer patient in the world to be able to take a pill that works like...

...Those are only two drugs that keep EGF from doing its job. Glivec, which reversed Reiter's and Ferber's leukemia so dramatically, is another; so is Tarceva, a drug from OSI Pharmaceuticals in Uniondale, N.Y., which is showing promise against some lung tumors as well as head and neck cancers. Neither of these compounds keeps EGF from docking with cells; instead, each worms its way inside the cells, where it intercepts growth messages percolating in from the surface.

...Ferber's cry-it-out method asks parents to listen to their baby cry for longer and longer intervals of time, starting at five minutes, before going into the room. The idea is that babies need to learn how to fall asleep on their own--without parental intervention in the form of rocking or nursing. For every parent who has told me that this seems hardhearted, another has sheepishly said it worked like a charm after a few nights...

...program of his 1924 Broadway show Rose-Marie, for instance, he and the other authors wrote that the musical numbers were too integral to the book to list separately. Three years later, with Jerome Kern, he had his biggest success with Show Boat, the musical he adapted from Edna Ferber's novel of the same name with the express intention of weaving songs seamlessly into a narrative about addictive gambling, alcoholism and miscegenation.
