...themselves from foreign cells, would not reject the mice in a graft-vs.-host response. But, surprisingly, the adult human cells used in the La Jolla research did not reject the mice either. "That these human cells recirculate around in the mice without caring is astounding," said Dr. Donald Mosier, head of the La Jolla research team...
...some of the donors; mice injected with cells not exposed to this virus did not develop the tumors. The implications for cancer research could be enormous: the rapid growth -- in eight to 16 weeks -- would afford scientists a rare opportunity to track the emergence and spread of cancer. Said Mosier: "This is an extraordinary breakthrough. We may be able to dissect that tissue week by week to see what happens to these cells...

So said Judge Robert Altman as he sentenced Los Angeles Gang Member Michael Hagan to the maximum of 27 years to life for the first-degree murder of 17-year-old Kellie Mosier. Hagan, 23, claims he was high on the drug PCP last year when he pumped six bullets from a rifle into the back of a girl he had never...
...wish they had sentenced him to death," said Irene Mosier, Kellie's mother. But Hagan was spared the death penalty: California does not allow * capital punishment unless a first-degree murder involves other circumstances as well. Hagan seemed unconcerned about his sentence. "One day I'll be back on the streets," he said, "and I'm gonna be hard, hard, hard -- one mean son of a bitch ready for action...
Still, even that twisted logic does not explain his cold-blooded murder of Kellie Mosier. A junior in high school, she was working at her first job, behind the counter of an ice-cream parlor. While Hagan was being initiated into gangs at the age of 13, she was still playing with dolls. Resisting pressure at school to join the gangs, she selected friends who shared dreams beyond the streets, and they stuck together for protection. Poised and attractive, she dreamed of being a fashion model...
