...years at Harvard, I have been called many things, few of them pleasant. If you think I have elicited rather harsh epithets in the "Letters" section of this page, you should see the letters my editors forbore to print. But I do not mean to repine over unrequited love or unjust persecution. Far form it, since I never sought to be loved or to be treated justly...
...Tuesday, though, the bulk of the Times coverage had shifted to the business section to focus on all the money that Entremed's stockholders had made, in an article pointed to from the front page by a rather timid feature piece with a different byline. It opened by recounting the frustrations of a desperate patient. By Tuesday afternoon, Entremed's stock had faded another six points to under 45.

"I had someone appraise my site," he says. "The domain name itself is worth more than $75,000." Hmmm, maybe...
...front-page Sunday New York Times story on Dr.Judah Folkman's research into a technique for killing cancer tumors has sparked widespread dramatic coverage in the media, but TIME medical writer Christine Gorman is paying attention to a different angle: Always ask, she says, who benefits from early media reports of a cancer-treatment breakthrough...
