CANCER CATCH-22 In a report out last week, scientists found that drugs derived from platinum and used to treat ovarian cancer--the cornerstone of today's treatment--may quadruple a woman's risk of developing leukemia.

His lyrics--often simple and clumsy--attack other black people, homosexuals and women. DMX is at his best when he becomes more contemplative, as he does in Coming From, a moving ballad he performs with singer Mary J. Blige. Attacking minorities...
