...Washington's not simply scolding Arafat. More importantly, it's dispatched a senior State Department official on a discreet tour of Arab capitals to discuss the Jerusalem issue - cajoling Arafat into a deal on the Holy City will be impossible without the backing of a pan-Arab consensus, and Washington may be inclined to lean on Arab allies such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia to take some responsibility for fashioning a compromise. The art of compromise, as ever, will be finding a solution that each side can sell as a victory. And that's not at all inconceivable: Jerusalem...
Just once, Scott Danneker would like to see a TV documentary or magazine story about his employer that doesn't feature the airship Hindenburg's bursting like a lava-filled egg over Lakehurst, N.J., on May 6, 1937.

After all, it's quite possible that the body successfully destroys small clumps of tumor cells all the time. Being able to identify them could therefore subject women to needless worry and possibly unnecessary treatment. In addition, it's not always easy to draw the line between normal tissue that happens to be growing a little funny and cells that are destined to become lethal...
