...evidence of this cumbersome and vapid work, he has no talent for sculpture; he is there because the Spanish fixedly believe he is the successor to Picasso and Miro -- a nationalist illusion. The British pavilion, which in previous Biennales walked away with the show -- Frank Auerbach, Howard Hodgkin and the sculptor Tony Cragg -- contains a disappointing survey of recent work by one of the fathers of Pop art, Richard Hamilton, who split the Golden Lion, or main prize, with Tapies...
...With his Hodgkin's disease in remission, National Hockey League star Mario Lemieux rejoined his Pittsburgh Penguins team on the ice last week, just two months after discovering that he was battling the lymph cancer. The raucous standing ovation the 27-year-old star received no doubt bolstered his spirits after he'd persevered through eight weeks of radiation therapy.

The department's guidelines, modeled after those of the U.S. military, barred anyone who had a history of cancer...
...devastating malignancy. These so-called secondary cancers are a direct result of the powerful drugs and radioactive fields used to kill cancer cells. Susan Leigh, 44, an oncology nurse from Tucson, is convinced that the breast cancer she developed in 1990 arose from the radiation treatments she received for Hodgkin's disease 20 years ago. "They are going to have to start teaching survivors what the late effects are," says Leigh. "We're going to have to be followed for the rest of our lives...
