...changed Gore's image forever. It was the night his relationship with the Washington elite began to unravel--the night he addressed the Democratic Convention in Chicago. In his speech, Gore told the story of his sister Nancy Hunger, who started smoking at 13 and died of lung cancer at 46. After describing her ghastly death, he vowed that "until I draw my last breath, I will pour my heart and soul into the cause of protecting our children from the dangers of smoking." The people in the hall that night were moved, and polls showed that the speech...
...Gore's bio movie Thursday night: "No Gores were harmed in the making of this film." In his last two convention speeches, Gore famously trotted out his family's tales of woe - his son's being hit by a car in '92, his sister's death from lung cancer in '96 - so viewers could be forgiven for wondering just which Gore would have to take the hit this time around (and whether the rest weren't secretly praying for no renomination speech...
Rosenblatt put on an epic case--one that stretched out for two full years, with testimony from 157 witnesses. A skilled trial lawyer with a flair for the dramatic, he pulled at jurors' heartstrings by putting his ailing clients front and center. Mary Farnan, a nurse with lung and brain cancer, began smoking at age 11 and was unable to quit even during early rounds of chemotherapy. Frank Amodeo, a 60-year-old Orlando clockmaker with throat cancer, is unable to swallow food. Rosenblatt had hoped to put Angie Della Vecchia on the stand during the damages phase. She died...
Proof at the genetic level that origin means more than location is coming in. Researchers at Stanford have been studying liver, breast, prostate and lung cancers for clues to their telltale molecular fingerprints. Using microarrays to sense which genes are turned on in sample tissues, says geneticist Charles Perou, the Stanford team has discovered that most of the genes expressed by both normal breast cells and primary-breast-cancer cells are similar, and so are cells for normal lung tissue and lung cancer, normal prostate and prostate cancer, and so on--which should ultimately give doctors biochemical identifiers to guide...
Golub and colleagues at Boston's Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center, meanwhile, are learning that tumors from a specific category--lung, prostate, colon--can be divided into previously unsuspected subcategories. Golub says of his specialty, for example, "We're trying to understand why some men die with prostate cancer rather than of prostate cancer, whereas others have aggressive disease that kills them...
