Still, says Dr. William Fair, head of the urology division at Manhattan's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, "prostate cancer is beginning to come out of the closet. Fifteen or 20 years ago, you couldn't even mention the word prostate in polite mixed company." Indeed, popular awareness of prostate cancer may now be at a stage similar to that of breast cancer two decades ago, after Betty Ford and Happy Rockefeller revealed publicly that they were victims of a cancer that until then had been discussed only in private, and urged women to have mammograms...
...replace the orchestra's annual June festival with a more adventurous celebration of American music. He is also renotating and recording some of Aaron Copland's thorny early works, as well as continuing work on a major orchestral composition of his own. With his new-found maturity, not to mention a five-year contract, the wunderkind has grown up at last...
...Picture. It is also why this year's nod to Babe wins cheers even from a rival, Braveheart's Steven Rosenblum: "Groups like the Academy often don't recognize how well edited these quiet pictures are."

...always just a bit suspicious: Dikembe Mutombo of Zaire, Toni Kukoc of Croatia, Georghes Muresan of who-knows-where (not to mention Anthony Mason of Miami) all standing sternly, introspectively, for a tired old song they hear night after night? As the national anthem strikes up before every National Basketball Association game, the trash-talking, the rivalries and the sneaker contracts all fade into the background as the players appear to become consumed, if only for a moment, by their national pride. Television cameras--on the rare occasions when the anthem is televised-- zoom in for tight close...
