Grand Theft Roto: Hurts So Good
To the victor goes the spoils" comes to mind. Neither Clay Aiken nor Chris Daughtry won "American Idol," and yet I'd say platinum records are pretty good spoils. If I could score that kind of spoilage by finishing second (or fifth) in my main league, I'd be rich by now. And how about "cheaters never prosper?" My Patriots are 4-0 despite shooting the amateur video "Coordinators Gone Wild," Shawne Merriman gets to do a cool Nike commercial with Michael Mann less than a year after being suspended for "Just Doing It" ("it" being a banned substance) and former New York City mayor Rudy Guilliani could be in the White House in 16 months despite having a well-publicized affair. Sex, lies and videotape, indeed. But then there are clich�s that endure because they are simply so true, such as: "Injuries are a part of the game." So let's take a look at how you can turn pain into fantasy profit.

Black Women Get Less Breast Cancer Treatment
Banerjee's team reviewed final data on 630 women diagnosed with breast cancer at the Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit between 1990 and 1996. They wanted to evaluate the role of race in breast cancer treatment, after accounting for such variables as any accompanying illnesses (some of which might have ruled out the use of certain treatments), as well as the women's socioeconomic and health insurance status. Of the 630 women, 242 were white and 388 were black. Of the 242 white women, 154 had local disease, while in 88, it had spread to the lymph nodes. Of the 388 black women, 230 had local tumors, and 158 had disease that had spread to the lymph nodes.
