...agonist” therapy, the focus of the study, involves injecting a synthetic version of the reproductive hormone GnRH, which blocks the production of testosterone, thereby preventing the spread of prostate cancer. Authors of the study are questioning the benefits of the treatment because although prostate cancer can be lethal, it spreads slowly, develops primarily in men over 65, and most patients survive for at least five years after they are diagnosed. The disease’s slow progression raises doubts about whether it is worthwhile to use a potentially hazardous therapy in treating early-stage prostate cancer. Patients with...

McDermott's preoccupations go much deeper than baby-boom artifacts, deeper even than mere history. What is it, she wonders, that holds together the loose fabric...
...Aviv park last Thursday, more than 40,000 people gathered to remind Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that the fierce 34-day attack on Lebanon failed to achieve one crucial goal: to free two Israeli soldiers kidnapped by Hizballah militants. And a smaller but no less lethal military operation in Gaza - in which more than 200 Palestinians were killed - has yet to rescue a third Israeli soldier who was grabbed in June by Palestinian militants...
