...there is reason to hope that within the next 25 years new drugs will be able to ameliorate most if not all cancers and maybe even cure some of them.

...first action by the columnist's attorney Manuel Klausner Wednesday was to try to move the trial to Drudge's home state of California. Judge Paul Friedman didn't rule on that one immediately, but some of his other pronouncements were less than hopeful for the defense: "Public figures," he said, "have the right not to be defamed."
