...grip of a writing demon. Frequently the book seems compiled rather than composed, facts and fiction accreting into a formidable but unshapely mass. There are even chunks on boxing in the '50s, as if the fight game had the same historical impact as the Rosenberg trial or the policies of "Engine Charley" Wilson, the Secretary of Defense. You Must Remember This takes lots of wild swings; it is what happens when a fearless slugger goes toe to toe with a big, elusive opponent...
...five Treblinka survivors have identified the man pictured on the ID card as Ivan, and several said they recognized Demjanjuk even now as their tormentor. "This is Ivan from the gas chambers," exclaimed Eliahu Rosenberg at a February court session. "I saw those eyes, those murderous eyes."

Rosenberg and his colleagues used the technique on 157 cancer patients with melanoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and colorectal, kidney and other cancers that were initially considered untreatable. What is more, the affected tumors were metastatic -- that is, they had spread to other sites in the body. Of the 157 patients, 20 had at least a 50% reduction in tumor size, while complete remissions were produced in nine. (Four patients died from side effects of therapy.) The second paper, by Dr. William West and a team of physicians and scientists...
