...Chapel Hill and a member of the task force, points out, breast cancer occurs less frequently in younger women, and not every cancer is the same. Some tumors are indolent and slow-growing; others are aggressively malignant and blanket a body within months. Mammography is best at spotting the slowest-growing tumors, which are most common and generally do not spread beyond the breast or require treatment. Although these tumors are malignant, they rarely go on to cause clinical symptoms. But when detected, they are still treated as if they were potentially faster-growing--with a combination of chemotherapy, radiation...
News of the sagging revenues did not come as a shock, during what is traditionally one of the slowest weeks on Hollywood's calendar. All new movies are subject to the law of gravity, even a smash like New Moon. In 17 days, the interspecies love story sold more than 35 million tickets in North America alone, and it was bound to exhaust its fan base at some point.

Meanwhile, each of the Big Six (the three domestic carmakers plus Toyota, Honda and Nissan, which together account for 75% of all vehicle sales in the U.S.) reported double-digit declines in sales. The declines ranged from 11% at Ford to nearly 42% at Chrysler. German automakers such as Volkswagen, BMW, Porsche...
