...Hecht and John Lee Mahin and starring Paul Muni as a lightly fictionalized, heavily romanticized Al Capone. That Scarface ran 90 minutes; this one ambles along at nearly twice the length. The first film has a screwball-comedy briskness that made Tony an outsized monster, a festering lesion on the body politic, without stopping more than once or twice to spell out social message. The new Scarface is at bottom a bitter comedy about the perils of drug abuse, and De Palma directs his actors to play at the pitch of gross grandiosity but at the pace of a chamber...
...Moyenne Corniche, the mountain road near her home in Monte Carlo. During that time, Princess Stephanie, 17, has remained a virtual recluse. Last week the princess, moving rigidly in a neck brace, was glimpsed for the first time in public since the accident. Still suffering from a lesion of the seventh vertebra, she attended a memorial Mass for her mother.

Subsequent investigations revealed that the skin lesions, arthritis and many other ailments...
Though both Lahey and Pack have since died, Goldsmith believes that there is some corroborating visual evidence in photographs of F.D.R. taken over the years. By about 1932, he says, a small pigmented lesion had appeared above Roosevelt's left eye. In following years it seems to have enlarged and grown downward into the eyebrow. But after 1943 the lesion was gone. That leads Goldsmith to believe that the lesion was a sign of malignant melanoma-a form of skin cancer that can spread to other organs-and that it was surgically removed in 1943. He also suspects that...
