...what's a woman to do? Although routine mammography is far from perfect, it does detect many breast tumors at their earliest, most treatable stage, particularly in women over 50, says Dr. David Thomas, the study's principal investigator and a cancer epidemiologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

...like much of the country, is feeling some pain. "The economy bothers me," says waitress Melissa Hart, as she serves up a foot-long chili dog at Town Pump, a Little Rock suds-and-sandwich shop. "It is sucking. And we need some change." That kind of attitude puts Hutchinson in a bind. Pryor notes, for instance, that the Republican has repeatedly voted against raising the minimum wage. Hutchinson counters that expanding the earned-income tax credit would be a better way to help the working poor, but he acknowledges that it's a complex argument: "Voters don't want...
