...decades the only true weapon against colon cancer has been surgery. If the scalpel could take out the entire tumor, the patient was cured; if not, the cancer recurred. But now, for the first time, researchers have developed a drug therapy that may reduce the high death rate from this form of cancer, which kills 53,500 Americans each year and is the third most common type of malignancy...
Gorbachev's concern over labor unrest is well grounded. Since last July, when Soviet coal miners went on a three-week strike to protest their squalid living conditions and the government caved in to their demands, long-suffering Soviet workers have found work stoppages a potent weapon. So have restive national groups.

His cool gaze settles on everything with equal curiosity: he is as interested in the way a formidable old nun grips her crucifix -- like a weapon -- as in the way the left hand of his monarch Philip IV rests, lightly but not quite negligently, on the hilt of his sword. There is nothing he cannot draw, though no drawings by Velazquez survive. That, however, is part of his fascination to eyes conditioned by the spontaneity of painting...
