...papillomavirus and cervical cancer, which annually strikes 15,000 women in the U.S. The human papillomavirus (HPV) family is a large one, including 46 types capable of causing everything from common plantar warts (HPV-1 and 4) to choking growths in the throat (HPV-11) to a bizarre warty rash found almost exclusively on the hands of butchers and meat handlers (HPV-7). So far, six types of HPV, all responsible for benign genital lesions, have also been associated with malignant cervical growths. Says Dr. Harald zur Hausen of the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg: "At least...
...through the western legs of Second Baseman Tim Teufel, and 9-3 on the first of two dark episodes for Mets Ace Dwight Gooden -- McNamara said pointedly, "We probably aren't the greatest ball club in the world." The Mets smiled weakly. In 13 big league years at a rash of stands, this manager has been a man of rare civility and rotten luck.

Doctors began prescribing opium- based concoctions for every malady from headache to skin rash. Respectable Victorian ladies calmed their babies with narcotic potions, such as Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup and Hooper's Anodyne, the Infant's Friend.
