Sidney Lumet has been here before, directing the 1983 Daniel, a fictionalized look at the Rosenberg spy family. And Phoenix has already played, in The Mosquito Coast, a teenager whose idealistic dad kept his family on the run; Plimpton offered pert consolation in that film too. Those films foundered on their ambitions; this time the pieces fall together. The actors are an ensemble who know each other like, well, family. Hirsch is righteous and funny without ever being Alan Alda; Lahti etches another of her nifty modern heroines; Phoenix shows the strength and range that could make him a must...
Alternatively there are the grasses that do not need to be mowed, another favorite choice of those too busy to bother. New York City Art Dealers Carole and Alex Rosenberg cultivated a tangle of weeds at their house in Water Mill, Long Island. "I read about English gardens," Carole explains. "They are too fussy for me." Someone suggested ornamental grasses from the Washington-based landscape-architect firm of Oehme, van Sweden, as a solution. The Rosenbergs' sloping lawn is now intersected and ringed with free-form gardens of 3-ft. grasses, Scotch Broom covered with saffron blossoms, blue allium balls...
...appears to stimulate certain immature white cells to mature into killer cells that destroy cancer. Since 1984, when the treatment was developed by Dr. Steven Rosenberg of the National Cancer Institute, more than 400 Americans have received it. Though there have been some spectacular successes, IL-2 is clearly no cure for cancer. Five percent to 10% of patients experience complete remission, and more have partial ones. But the majority reap no benefit at all. Given the expense and the risks, the treatment has come in for some sharp criticism. Even so, University of Pennsylvania Oncologist Kevin Fox notes that...
...Rosenberg is working on a new and potentially more powerful therapy called TILs, for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. In tests on mice, he notes, these cells appear "50 to 100 times more potent than LAK." TILs are actually killer T cells that, like LAK cells, can attack cancer cells. To produce them, researchers expose malignant cells removed from the patient to IL-2. The tissue includes killer T cells that have launched a weak attack; with a sharp boost from the IL-2, they replicate and proceed to destroy the cancer. A month later, the newly potent T cells, vastly increased...
...coalition of non-profit organizations and a community construction company with city funding had hoped to recreate a teen center there, but failed in their attempt to purchase the gym from the archdiocese, said Community Development Department Director Michael Rosenberg...
