...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. "We are in the midst of a complete and profound change in our development of cancer treatments," says Richard Klausner, director of the National Cancer Institute. The main upshot of this change is the sheer number of drugs in development--so many that they threaten to swamp clinical researchers' capacity to test them...
...zero for something not seen in the City By the Bay since the early '80s: an outbreak of syphilis. Officials have talked to seven gay men who had the disease ? all of whose last encounter was with someone they had met in "SFM4M" (San Francisco Men for Men).

"We have cured mice of cancer for decades--and it simply didn't work in people...
...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." Strike one for Drudge, who falsely alleged last August that Blumenthal was involved in "spousal abuse...
