ADVICE Drink lots of fluids, wear loose, light-color clothing: What else is new? (We plead guilty; see page 66, last week.) Most original, from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: check your urine (dark=dehydration...

I would be able to demand an arbitration hearing about the company's decision, plead my case before an independent panel and have an oncologist testify that there's no link between lumpy breasts and cancer. If Breaux-Frist-Jeffords were law, the insurer would choose the physicians reviewing my case--an idea that doesn't comfort...
