Top House GOP leaders like Speaker Dennis Hastert and Majority Whip Tom DeLay felt marooned, along with West Coast Republican congressmen taking the brunt of public anger over energy shortages and rising gas pump prices...
...week that Senate Democrats were poised to shove an unpalatable measure at him, Bush began scrambling for a life raft from the House. Hastert had already signed on to Fletcher's bill.

Scientists at California-based Cell Genesys, for example, have taken tumor cells from a number of cancers, genetically engineered them to pump out a hormone that stimulates production of a host of immune cells, and vaccinated late-stage lung-cancer patients with the mixture to boost chances that dendritic cells would sound the alarm against the tumors. In the latest study, three of 22 patients saw their tumors disappear completely, and four...
