...didn't concern itself with titillating the audience's desire for beautiful pictures, and a stunning, huge production. It was quite clear that what was important about these historical characters was not just that they were onstage at all, but mostly that they were being treated with a certain amount of irony, which they were not used to. I think it was slightly shocking for many Russians. I was asked if I was writing a satire or parody. I said no, this is what human beings are like. Sometimes they do absurd things, make idiots of themselves. The play...
Perhaps the surest risk factor - in both women and men - is family history. By the time Place was diagnosed, for example, two of his female relatives had died of breast cancer and a third of ovarian cancer. Although there are certainly several genes that contribute to breast cancer, mutations in two of them - BRCA1 and BRCA2 - are known to increase the odds of both breast and ovarian cancers. So while most men might never even meet a man with breast cancer, those who have several relatives diagnosed with it should be on the lookout for signs of their own breast...

But it is this very naturalness that makes the acceptance of cultural trends so dangerous. Assimilation risks becoming...
...with us when we have to flee our homes. We look at each other and what we're wearing, a style we have learned to call "evacuwear." One Rancho Bernardo resident, whose wife had gone ahead to a hotel, was left picking through the clothes for her. He was certain she'd want her velour sweats and deck shoes. Come to think of it, he hadn't seen her wear her deck shoes in years, but since she'd had them for so long, she obviously wanted to save them...
