This is the forward that I said I would send... I heard that NCI is going
to put 3 million dollars into the research of endostatin/angiostatin. I
respect Mr. Bloch giving so selflessly to the cancer march and praise God
that he is... I just struggle a little when I total 30 million dollars in
parks verses 3 million to research, but I am not the one who has the
answers.... Carla
