...their surprise that the reason for the difference was estrogen. In the presence of that hormone, which circulates in higher levels in women, lung cells are exposed to more of the carcinogens in cigarette smoke. Harnessing estrogen's ability to speed up some metabolic processes, the scientists piggybacked a potent chemotherapy agent onto a commonly circulating protein, hoping that the presence of estrogen around the lung tumors would also accelerate the cells' ability to open up to the cancer-killing drug. Sure enough, in early studies, women taking the drug who had naturally higher estrogen levels lived longer after their...

Consider this: in the 32 years of Ivy League women?...
...Salsgiver (see page 4). “Later in the year it can only benefit us with so many pitchers,” Cole says. “I think there’s definitely a lot of potential on the staff this year.” With a potent Harvard offense in place that stacks heavy hitters up and down the lineup, the onus falls on the pitching staff to hold up its end of the bargain. “If you just look at our lineup, we have nine guys who can swing the stick...
