DOLE KEMP! DOLE KEMP!
Bob Dole and running mate Jack Kemp got the New York delegation fired up and
ready for action this morning. Dole easily beat his GOP challengers in the New
York primary, but the state went with Bill Clinton for president four years
ago. Now, with the firm support of Governor George Pataki and Senator
Alphonse D'Amato, the Dole/Kemp ticket is looking to turn the tide.
BOB DOLE/R-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE:
JACK KEMP/R-VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE:
Notably absent from this morning's New York delegation rally was congresswoman
Susan Molinari, the keynote speaker at tonight's convention session. Molinari,
featured in today's San Diego union-tribune, recently became a mother, yet
favors abortion rights, an issue that continues to divide Republicans despite
orchestrated demonstrations of party unity. She says she won't even talk about
abortion tonight, promsing instead to address women on broader issues.
Her speech, like the one last night by Colin Powell, is part of the ongoing
effort to open the party to more diverse viewpoints, at least on the surface.
But will her appearance help bring women into the fold?

Rather than undergo that radical surgery, Warren MacDonald jumped at the
chance to instead try an experimental therapy to treat his cancer of the
esophagus.
What he opted for instead, is known as Photodynamic therapy.
A light sensitive drug, Photofrin, is injected and for various chemical
reasons, selectively accumulates into your cells.
Once the drug is in the cancer cells, the next step is to activate the
medication by using light.
That's done by threading a laser down the esophagus to the site of the
tumor and illuminating it.

If tumors have invaded deeply into healthy tissues, or if cancer cells have
