...Kennedy is to lead two lives--the official one the family seeks with bright idealism and ruthless ambition, and the private one it tries to preserve behind the hedges of a seaside estate. But to be a Kennedy is also to understand how those two worlds can reinforce each other. Camelot stands not just for the elegant touches of the Kennedy presidency--an exhortation at the Berlin Wall, a journey into the hollows of Appalachia--but also for the carefully selected moments of the family at play. John F. Kennedy Jr. was urban royalty with a public conscience, a black...
...works, the things he accomplished with his time and money--the practical good sense of them; the gracious, modest style that attended them--the more one appreciates that this was a life worth mourning. Those who feel that journalism's coverage of his death has been overdone do not understand that there is a news of feeling as well as fact; and the feeling for Kennedy has come from fact...

Scientists have been able to turn normal human cells into cancerous cells before by using chemicals or X-rays. "But this has been a hit-or-miss proposition," says Gorman. "The new laboratory process will help scientists understand more clearly what are the genetic steps." This is important because cancer cells exhibit so many genetic changes that scientists are at present not sure which changes are cause and which are effect. The precise procedures used to create the laboratory cancer cells could help untwine the mysteries...
