...week backed its appeal with some pertinent statistics. In a 25-year overview of cancer mortality figures, it reported that cancer death rates seem to be leveling off and, for some forms of the disease, actually declining, as in the case of stomach cancer (down more than 60%), colon-rectum (down 5.6% for men, 22.5% for women) and uterine cancer (down 59.5%). But the death rate for lung cancer, which has been repeatedly linked to cigarette smoking, has grown by 200%. Cancer Society officials attribute at least part of that sharp rise to the great increase in the number...
...equal part of Maharaji Ji and Keith Richard's bad teeth thrown in, he somehow got elevated into a spiritual godhead, an Oudpensky for our times. But somebody jumped the stakes on old Chet, and marked the deck--his final performance began with him crawling out of the rectum of a dead elephant to conduct a swordfight with a pitching machine, and ended with him throwing up on the mayor of New York.

The new technique may have another benefit: it could be used to evaluate new anticancer drugs without endangering cancer patients...

Levanter lures the clerk to a sauna, knocks him unconscious, then unflinchingly shoves a saber up his rectum. While Kosinski says he himself would not have killed the clerk, making Levanter perform that act confronts the reader with the question: at what moment should life be spared. "The act generates respect for life even though it is about violence," Kosinski maintains...
...which French lawyer Jean Michel Braunschweig, who investigated conditions in Iran last January, claims has 20,000 members and a network of some 180,000 paid informers. The country's repertory of tortures includes not only electric shock and beatings, but also the insertion of bottles in the rectum, hanging weights from testicles, rape, and such apparatus as a heK met that, worn over the head of the victim, magnifies his own screams...
