...proteins that resemble the human immune system’s own antibodies but which bind to the surface of cancer cells. New York-based ImClone Systems has an antibody called IMC-C225, now in the final phases of testing in colorectal and head and neck cancer, that acts like bubble gum stuffed in a keyhole. It prevents a specialized protein known as a growth factor from fitting into a slot on the surface of the cancer cell and signaling it to reproduce...
...breaking salary for The Patriot. He is wearing the usual--jeans and an untucked short-sleeve patterned shirt that is, frankly, a little loud--and he is fumbling through the tattered leather backpack he always carries, looking desperately for a light. Gibson smokes. He has tried hypnotists and nicotine gum and such, but quitting remains perhaps the one thing Mel Gibson cannot do. At 44 he has won two Oscars (as director and producer of the 1995 Braveheart). He has been married to the same woman, Robyn Gibson, since 1980 and fathered seven children, including son Thomas, born last year...

...guitars and charging drums assault the eardrums on "Come Out Swinging", underpinning Holland's atonal shout as he reminds you that even though the Offspring have become mainstream mainstays, their roots still lie in punk. But even as the band seems poised and ready once again to pierce bubble-gum pop as they did on their notorious single "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)" (off Americana), they decide instead to take the safer route. The album trades blows of intense, adrenaline pumped frenzy with the safer distorted power chords of mainstream rock. The first released single, "Original Prankster" tries...
