Finally Jack rescues the blonde, Kong in hot pursuit. They make it back through the giant gate where Denham waits with something called "gas bombs." Kong is KO'd, brought back to NYC where he is put on display. Photographers stir him up: "Stop! He thinks you're attacking the girl!" He breaks through his chains in a fearsome rage, trashes an elevated subway train, eats a man in a pin-stripe suit, and plucks a young woman right out of her bed. She's no Ann, though, and he drops her - literally. Somehow he finds Ann and takes...
...critic caused quite a stir a few years ago by reviewing the Bill T. Jones dance production "Still/Here" by not reviewing it, saying that she would not actually watch the performance because she found the underlying conceit of the show (AIDS patients perform dances about their illness) to be callous, manipulative and morally bankrupt.

The interest groups on left and right begin to stir and sniff; the oppo research folders get fattened up for the fight; Senators who will sit in judgment begin voicing "concerns" or "questions" about this candidate's qualifications or that one's paper trail. But almost never--only nine times in Senate history--has a Cabinet nominee been voted down. About the same number pulled out rather than suffer...
...years doctors tried to stir immune reactions against cancers with a weakened tuberculosis bacterium called bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), but had only middling success. What has given the old idea a shot in the arm, so to speak, is biotechnology. Researchers like NCI's Dr. Steven Rosenberg have been able to isolate fragments from the surface of melanoma cells. Injected into the body, these antigens trick the immune system into producing a flood of killer T cells, which then go after the tumor cells containing the telltale fragments...
