...swap and eventually transferred her "credit" to her best friend, whose husband was in the last stages of cancer. "They stayed 10 days," Jan Omans recalls, "and after he died, his wife wrote that her husband had wanted us to know what a good feeling he had on that trip. This goes beyond vacationing," Jan says, "to good hearts and goodwill...
...children had led him, Stewart, 42, was happier than friends had ever seen him. And thanks largely to a June victory at the U.S. Open, he was having the best year of his golfing career. Wouldn't it be great, he confided to a friend the evening before his trip, if he could cap it with another victory?

Hayes runs the Homies & Popz through a tight workout spiked with lectures on focus, attitude and respect. He leads a boot-camp jog, yelling out "Compton Cricket!" as they answer "U.S.A.!"

...there will be drugs to trip up a cell at each of the steps it takes on the path to malignancy. A patient with lung cancer, say, might undergo gene therapy, breathing in genetically altered cold viruses that don't cause infection but instead act as miniature delivery vans carrying copies of the p53 gene. Good copies of this gene, which is mutated in many cancers, can force some cancer cells to commit suicide. The effects of p53 could be bolstered with antibodies that slow tumors by attaching to the surface of cancer cells and gumming up their ability...
