       Cancer, Cure and Causality
 
- When is a tumor deemed malignant?
- How does the body defend itself?
- Can cancer vanish spontaneously?
 
by Dr. WALLACE SAMPSON, MD
     Acting Chief of Medical Oncology, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center
 
    Cancer is not a single disease, but a wide variety of ways that normal
cells become renegade.  Cancerous cells vary greatly in their degree of
malignancy, and many steps are required to develop into a fatal disease.
Sometimes full malignancy never emerges, and tumor regression can even occur
without intervention.  Quacks frequently take credit for what may be an
entirely natural process.
    Wallace Sampson, MD is a cofounder and chairman of the board of the
National Council Against Health Fraud and an advisor to the Bay Area Skeptics.

     Y'know, that's exactly the attitude that other MLB cities scoff at...
The idea that San Francisco "fans" only feel like they need to go to the
games if the team is winning.  Talk about fair weather.  Folks, only about
half of the teams can have winning records, and occasionally your team is
going to have a bad year... I don't know where the Bay Area got the idea that
championships are a birthright (well, okay, with the 49ers and the A's maybe
I do).  But it's a pretty dangerous attitude to have when you might lose
the team altogether for lack of fan support!  "I want the Giants to stay
here but I'm only going to games if they win" is not going to cut it AT ALL.

Subject: More on the Canseco trade
Date: 9 Sep 92 22:29:24 GMT
Organization: Silicon Graphics, Inc.

Tony LaRussa was on the KNBR yesterday evening with Ralph Barbieri
and he was pretty candid about the reasons for the trade.

Ralph asked, "What will it take for you to call that trade
a success.  Which of these guys (Russell and Sierra) must you
get to resign in order to say you made the right move?"

Tony said, (a paraphrase) "It's a lot simpler than that.  We traded
one good player for three AND the chance to win. That's the bottom
line.  We've gotten this far and we needed to make this move
in order to get the chance to win THIS year.  You can't be looking
to win next year when you can do it this year.  Whether or not
we sign any of these guys, and there will be some 15 free agents
this winter, it doesn't matter for winning NOW.  Next year, we'll
look at our club and try to put together the team that we think
is capable of winning; just as we did this year."

He then put Jose in the proper perspective.
"People are saying, `The Giants wouldn't have traded Clark for
these guys,' or `The Twins wouldn't have traded Puckett.'
 But in terms of impact on the team, Jose was not one of them.
He didn't have the dependibility and he didn't espouse the
values of the Oakland Athletics."

Whoah!  What a slam.

So as we claimed, the A's blew their load for the one shot this year.

  selfinterest second.''	- Fay Vincent, September 1992

I have been listening to KNBR which apparently seems to be slaming
San Franciscans for not voting for the stadium etc etc etc. I am
a sports fan, A's, Niners, Sharks and while not exactly a Giants
fan I hate to see them leave. I don't understand the attitude
Giants fans have taken to the city of San Francisco. Nobody owes
you their tax money so quite whining. I see no reason to be hostile to
people who believe in other uses of tax money simply because one disagrees
with their view.

It would be interesting to see how many of you Giant Loyalists would
be willing to pay additional taxes to the tune of 100 million if there was
 a request to build a symphony hall, for example.

Each to his OWN...

Clarification: I'd personally be willing to pay the taxes but would'nt blame so
mebody who did'nt

Boy, you folks are really showing the owners just how much you wanna save
the Giants. The owners are just going to fall all over each other to keep a
team in San Francisco with this kind of fan support.

I gave up on keeping them in the bay area after the last election. What's
your excuse? If there's no butts in the seats, don't get upset when there
are no players on the field, folks.

Being from Minnesota, I hope you're right but I have my doubts...4 1/2 is a
lot of games to make up, unless the A's scoring drought contines.  The
instant they start winning like they can, again, 4 1/2 games might as well
be 100.  Particularly if the Twinkies recent winning streak turns out to be
more of an "August exception" than a "July rule".

I'll tell you why - the one *affects* the other.  La Russa once said (in
effect, I forgot his exact words) that if Jose ever grew up and developed
a decent work ethic, then he could become one of the greatest Hall-of-famers
of all time.

Note the "could be".  Comparing Jose's impact in baseball to Gretzky's in
hockey makes me sick.  If Jose was ever even the best baseball player compared
to his contemporaries (let alone past players), it wasn't for more than a
year or two and he certainly isn't, now.  Frankly, I think that old and past
his prime as he is, if Ricky Henderson would quit throwing temper tantrums
about his contract (and if he were completely healthy), he could have as much
impact on the A's performance as Jose could.  McGuire already does (at least,
this year.)
