...once a distinguished scholar in literature (he's published several books and is a regular contributor for The New York Times Book Review), Kiely is also the master who dressed up as a nun at drag night to sing "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?" from The Sound of Music. On one hand, he is half of the debonair couple that always makes a splash at House waltzes and swings, and on the other is an enthusiastic participant in the festivities of St. Patrick's Day, serving Black and Tans and step dancing...

Some 40,000 regular Serb troops, special police, paramilitary units and ultranationalist gangs tore through Kosovo "with complete ferocity," says a NATO official. "The intensity was not anticipated."

Benson and his colleagues concluded that patients should undergo a colonoscopy three years after the one that was done at the time of surgery, provided that all cancers and polyps were removed. Why not sooner? Repeat colonoscopies are most useful for finding a new tumor unrelated to the old one. Most recurring colon...
...other tests received qualified endorsements. The CEA test, which detects as many as 80% of colon-cancer recurrences, measures the amount of carcinoembryonic antigen, a protein found in the blood that is often produced by tumor cells. Regular proctosigmoidoscopy, which looks directly at the rectum, is recommended for patients with rectal cancer who have not undergone standard treatment with radiation...
