...luscious lobster ! salad, a cloyingly sugary bed of sauteed onions overpowering the delicate Dover sole meuniere. Another problem at all meals in all rooms is the tearoom breads, delicious by themselves but poor as foils for wine, the satiny American smoked salmon and the elegant terrine of truffled duck liver. Other fine dinner appetizers were the silken lobster-filled ravioli with chanterelles and hazelnuts and a ragout of wild mushrooms. Among main courses, moist, roasted pheasant with a subtle gamy flavor was well set off with pungent cranberries, and a mustard glaze added zest to sliced, rare roast filet...
Even if there is such a relationship, it may be far from direct: researchers have speculated that alcohol may make it easier for carcinogens to penetrate breast tissue or may affect hormones metabolized by the liver or released from the pituitary gland. Said Robert Hiatt of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in Oakland, who reported an alcohol-breast cancer link in 1984: "So far, this is an epidemiological finding that has been repeated, leading to concern.

He'd already stopped his three packs a day. In January 1986, he began his new regimen by quitting the booze. For the first three months, he and his personal trainer weighed and recorded every...
...perform -- except on Johnny Carson. He said I looked like a loose woman. My mother, on the other hand, thought I could do no wrong. One night she sneaked out to see The Rose, and she thought it was wonderful. She died the next year, of liver cancer. She had also had breast cancer, twice. My father died of heart trouble last May. It was too bad. It was just...
