Urban buzzwords and the trouble with euphemisms
Leonard Pitts critiques the overuse of terms like urban and differently abled in media and speech. He argues such words conceal meaning, polarize audiences, and insult readers by avoiding direct language about race and ability. He cites Stella Got Her Groove Back and other phrases as examples.

Protein p27 May Signal Prostate Cancer Aggressiveness
Researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering and Howard Hughes Medical Institute report that testing tumor cells for protein p27 could identify which prostate cancer patients need aggressive treatment and spare others from unnecessary surgery and radiation.
