ACQUITTED. JOHN GILLIGAN, Irish crime boss; of ordering the 1996 murder of journalist Veronica Guerin; in Dublin. Guerin, who had been investigating Gilligan's dealings, was fatally shot in her car. Despite "grave suspicions" of his guilt, a three-judge panel cleared Gilligan of murder but convicted him on 11 drug counts and gave him a 28-year sentence...
...years doctors tried to stir immune reactions against cancers with a weakened tuberculosis bacterium called bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), but had only middling success. What has given the old idea a shot in the arm, so to speak, is biotechnology. Researchers like NCI's Dr. Steven Rosenberg have been able to isolate fragments from the surface of melanoma cells. Injected into the body, these antigens trick the immune system into producing a flood of killer T cells, which then go after the tumor cells containing the telltale fragments...
...timing of Pay It Forward's release is certainly serendipitous, given the current acrimony between Washington and Hollywood over content. The folks behind the film are eager to do their bit. J.P.

The combination is potent: Soft Center is a laconic, coolly sensuous duet accompanied by a raspy electronic-music collage with a snippet of Paul Hindemith's mournful Trauermusik stuck in the middle (hence the title). Guerin is a major...
...Silverman disappeared first. A former dancer with Radio City Music Hall's Corps de Ballet, she was last seen walking through her home in a nightgown one morning last week. Police found blood drops outside the house and noticed that the suspicious Guerin was missing himself. A New York City detective who saw a sketch of him on television realized that he bore a striking resemblance to a Kenneth Kimes, who had been arrested just the previous day with his mother Sante on an outstanding fraud warrant from Utah. The detective had a good eye. "Manny Guerin" was apparently...
