...Alagna is not about to settle for just Pavarotti's mantle. This media dream child comes complete with his own legend. Try this one. Nineteen months ago, when he was beginning to make breaker-size ripples in the international opera pool, his wife died of a brain tumor, leaving him with their toddler Ornella. Then last year in London he fell in love with a beautiful Romanian soprano, Angela Gheorghiu, 30, who was making headlines at Covent Garden as Violetta in Sir Georg Solti's production of La Traviata. The pair have been together ever since, as inseparable...
...older men, but there has been a very rapid increase in prostate cancer in younger men. I was 48 when I asked for a diagnostic prostate-specific antigen test, even though my physician at the time did not recommend that I consider a PSA until I was 50. The tumor that was discovered was large and aggressive, but I am hopeful that my surgery was in time. Currently, researchers are looking mainly at older patients.

...make use of the large bank of prostate tissue gathered by Washington University's Dr. Catalona and Dr. Paul Lange of the University of Washington, both members of the consortium. Researchers in Hood's lab plan to test every one of the consortium's variety of 600 tumor cells along with normal prostate cells collected at every stage of human development. Then they will use genetic-engineering techniques to produce markers that can identify tumors that are dangerous and those that are not. The same approach, he says, may eventually be used to identify many other kinds of cancer...
...that his condition would rule out a third attempt. No one who has had cancer has ever been elected President of the U.S. Then, like so many American men who catch the malignancy in its early stages, Dole found out that his chances of beating it were excellent. His tumor, which doctors removed along with the rest of his prostate five years ago, was quite small and did not seem to have spread to the rest of his body. In subsequent blood tests, Dole's PSA levels have held steady at zero. From a medical point of view, the candidate...
