...removal of the entire breast, underlying muscle and neighboring lymph nodes, even if they show no trace of cancer. Though mastectomies have been favored by U.S. experts as the surest route to survival in cases of breast cancer, some doctors are beginning to have doubts about them. Dr. Samuel Hellman of Harvard's Joint Center for Radiation Therapy points out that radical surgery-or any other treatment, including radiation-is frequently performed so late that the removal of additional tissue is no insurance against a recurrence of the disease; too often, cancerous cells have already spread to other parts...

Professional historians are also now taking a closer look at McCarthyism and America's entry into the Cold...
