A Bittersweet Winter
On the Big Island of Hawaii, Susan Brooks and Walter Conway, newlyweds, mostly live a quiet, peaceful life. When an ambulance pulls into the neighbor’s driveway, peaceful goes out the window. Walter knows that his neighbors, Lloyd and Connie Perkins, are elderly and have health issues. It’s still a shock when Lloyd ends up dead. Connie, devastated by the sudden loss of her beloved husband, is horrified to learn that the police think he was murdered—and she’s the chief suspect. The arrival of Connie’s estranged granddaughter somewhat alleviates her loneliness, but involves them in events that may haunt them forever. Susan and Walter reach out to support the frightened widow. They never could have imagined that their neighborly kindness would catch a killer and save Connie’s life.

Love in bloom, fraught family relationships, a budding art career, embezzlement, blackmail, betrayal; life goes on...until a murder intrudes. Walter Conway, a former FBI agent, and Susan Brooks are in love. To Walter’s consternation, Susan is slow to commit to marriage because of lingering emotional attachments to her late husband and the challenges of merging their families and finances. In California, released from prison, Miguel Sanchez hopes to build an art career. He juggles his job, prepares for a solo show, and looks after his disabled grandmother. When Walter and Susan visit California, their lives and Miguel’s intersect. Miguel’s former lover, Henry Jenkins—a fellow artist and blackmailer—is murdered. The police focus on Miguel, who had both motive and opportunity, as their chief suspect. Certain of his innocence, Miguel’s family asks Susan and Walter for help.

The Biology and Prevention of Aerodigestive Tract Cancers
The papers contained in this volume were presented ati the Golden Jubilee Cancer Prevention Conference, "The Biology and Prevention of Aerodigestive Tract Cancers," sponsored by The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, February 21-23, 1991. The purpose of the conference was to further the understanding of the biology, epidemiology, and prevention of aerodigestive tract cancers. Advances in under standing the biology of aerodigestive tract cancers have led to successful early chemoprevention trials. Chemopreventive agents in current use are capable 9f reversing premalignant lesions, as well as reducing the number of second primary cancers of the head and neck. T...
Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Cancer
Increasing scientific evidence suggests that the majority of diseases including cancer are driven by oxidative stress and inflammation, attributed to environmental factors. These factors either drive genetic mutations or epigenetically modify expression of key regulatory genes. These changes can occur as early as gestational fetal development, and major questions remain as to how dietary/nutritional phytochemical factors biochemically interact with such genetic and epigenetic events. With chapters written by international experts, Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Cancer: Dietary Approaches for Cancer Prevention examines the latest developments on the effects of various dietary phytochemic...
