...like to thank Alice Park and the folks at TIME for the article on Dara Torres. As a 40-year-old father of three young ones, I have long taken pride in my training and strength. However, this past November I underwent neurosurgery to remove a tumor from my spinal cord. I now need a cane to walk and have lost dexterity in my right arm.

Despite Siskel's death in 1999, from complications related to a brain tumor, the show continued to flourish, first with a series of fill-in critics and finally with Roeper as Ebert's sparring partner...
...Health Care for All How sad that senator Ted Kennedy has been diagnosed with a brain tumor [June 2]. Fortunately, as a member of Congress, he will receive the best medical care, without regard to cost. For millions of working Americans, this diagnosis would mean liquidation of life savings, bake sales and coin jars at the local convenience store. Why can't Congress create a comprehensive health-care plan that treats us taxpayers as generously as they treat themselves? David Stockman, Billings, Mont...
