Old-fashioned chemotherapy and radiation treatments were blunt weapons that killed healthy cells along with malignant ones; the treatments were too toxic for most patients to endure. ________, the new-generation drugs are precision- guided missiles that zero in on tumors with a minimum of collateral damage. Used in combination with advanced techniques for classifying tumors by their molecular signatures and screening patients by their DNA, the drugs are transforming cancer from a deadly disease into a chronic condition that can be managed indefinitely.

Should a child who is short but otherwise perfectly healthy be given growth hormones to make him or her taller? That's the question facing thousands of U.S. parents in the wake of the Food and Drug Administration's decision last month to approve the use of human growth hormone for children whose predicted adult height is less than 150 cm for boys and 140 cm for girls. That is a really tough call. It's not easy being short in a world filled with tall people. You get teased. You're picked last in gym class. When you get older, you have trouble making dates and finding mates. ________, parents don't want to send their children the message that they're somehow deficient because they're not NBA material.

Another mutation that is ________ occurs in minks. Normally minks range from reddish brown to dark brown in color. These colors provide protection as the animal searches for food. However, in some minks mutations have occurred that cause the fur to be white or silver blue. A mink of this color does not blend with its environment and becomes an easy prey for other animals. A light-colored mink is also rejected by other minks. If the animal reaches maturity, its color will keep it from attracting a mate. Humans, however, like the color. For mink farmers, that rare-colored fur means an increase in profit.

Fine enough to slip through a ring, shawls made of          luxurious wool called shahtoosh have been prized for centuries. But demand threatens the source―chiru, or Tibetan antelope. It takes at least three antelope hides to make one six-foot shawl, which may fetch as much as $17,000 in a high-fashion shop in the west. By some        estimates 20,000 of these antelopes are killed each year. "There may now be no more than 75,000," says a Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) zoologist. The trade was banned in most of India in 1977 but remains legal in Kashmir, where the shawls are made. A two-year ad campaign has fashion buyers running for cover. Last year dozens of New York socialites reportedly were subpoenaed for information about their shawls. "In the U.S. ________," says the WCS zoologist.

Fashion and food have a lot in common. Both depend on taste and both require ________. By its nature, fashion dictates that suppliers and retailers be able to adjust to new styles, colors, and different seasons. Fashion retailers need to identify what's hot so it can be ordered quickly and what's not to avoid markdowns. Saks Fifth Avenue, an upscale American department store, has employed a quick response delivery system for fashion merchandise since the mid-1990s. Saks's point-of-sale scanner system records each day's sales. When stock falls below a minimum level, the system automatically generates a replenishment order. All major food companies, including General Mills and Del Monte, and many supermarket chains such as Safeway and A&P rely on electronic replenishment systems to minimize stockouts of popular items and overstocks of slow-moving items. Lowered retailers inventories and efficient logistics practices have been projected to save U.S. grocery shoppers $30 billion a year.

 ________. While Picasso used live models, Bacon depended on photographs. Not that he painted from photos; he merely used them, as well as just about everything else in his cluttered studio, from newspaper clippings to garbage-can lids, as starting points for his creative energies. Still, the results can be startlingly similar, as you can see in the entire gallery of heads painted by both artists. Bacon's 1971 Selfportrait shares some Cubist influences with Picasso's 1909 Head of a Man. But in almost every case Bacon's portraits reflect more motion, energy and distortion―and deliver a fiercer punch to the nervous system.

 ________. They might use the number of a certain kind of fish in a lake to get information about water pollution. They might keep track of populations of protected animals to help ensure their survival. Or they might count the number of animals of an endangered species to demonstrate that the species needs official protection.

The telephone has saved lives by getting rapid word of illness, injury, or famine from remote places. By joining with the elevator to make possible the multistory residence or office building, it has made possible―for better or worse―the modern city. By bringing about a quantum leap in the speed and ease with which information moves from place to place, it has greatly accelerated the rate of scientific and technological change and growth in industry. Beyond doubt it almost killed the ancient art of letter writing. It has made the waging of war chillingly more efficient than formerly. Perhaps it has prevented wars that might have arisen out of international misunderstanding caused by written communication. Or perhaps by magnifying and extending irrational personal conflicts based on voice contact, it has caused them.

A neurologist carefully examines the patient in a persistent vegetative state (PVS) on several occasions, looking for signs of awareness. Are there consistent responses to simple requests―to move a finger, for example? Do the eyes follow the doctor across the room? Does the patient react differently in the presence of family? The patient in PVS shows no evidence of consistent awareness. The patient's brain scans may show the extent of any damage, particularly after some time has passed and dead neural tissue is replaced by cerebrospinal fluid.

Teenage drivers are scary enough. Teen drivers who drink are doubly so: 21% of young U.S. drivers killed in car crashes are intoxicated, according to the U.S.'s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A new American study, however, suggests that the greater statistical danger for teens is not drinking and driving but riding with a driver who is drinking. A survey of 1,534 Californians ages 15 to 20 found that nearly 50% had ridden in a car with a drunk driver in the previous 12 months.

This proverb certainly belongs to one of the most commonly used proverbs in the English language. This should not be surprising since it expresses the only too human idea of discontent, envy, and jealousy in a metaphor which is easily understood. Interestingly enough, the proverb is also literally true as has been demonstrated in a scientific article based on optical and perceptual laws. Since people are equally dissatisfied with their lot in life, it should not surprise anyone that a modern psychologist has spoken of certain "phenomenon" named after this proverb by which modern individuals continually evaluate supposedly better alternatives for themselves.

I grew up with music. Although my father didn't play any instrument, he listened to jazz all the time, saxophone music in particular. My mother was musical―she had a very good piano technique―but she did need the music in front of her. I didn't. Or at least I wasn't a natural at reading music. I was better at picking up things by ear.

The first televisions were very expensive and still had some problems. Few people had them and broadcasting was extremely limited. But by 1945 television sets began rolling off the assembly lines. Soon everyone was saving up to buy a television set. In the beginning of 1950 there were three million television sets in the United States. By the end of the year there were seven million sets. In 1951 it was found that some young people were watching nearly 30 hours of television a week. Television became a craze. People couldn't get enough of it. They even started eating meals in front of the television. This gave birth to frozen "TV dinners" in 1954, and "TV trays" to put them on.

Marriage is a changing institution, but most
