Two rock-ringed altars and enormous skull-like stone carvings — which guarded grottos stuffed with the discarded flesh of the dead — as well as a statue depicting the once-revered fertility god Xipe Totec, with an extra hand dangling off one arm to suggest he was wearing a sleeve of human skin, were also unearthed.…

Now Tom, 78, who admits bedding oodles of gals during his 59-year marriage to Melinda, says he “should have forced her to go to the doctors” sooner. “After I lost my wife, lyrics to a Bob Dylan song reminded me of her,” he reveals. “It’s called What Good Am I? “I was reading into the lyrics thinking, ‘Jesus Christ, was I partly to blame? Should I have woken up before?’ By the time we found out about her cancer it was too late. I thought, ‘What could I have done?’ ” Despite his womanizing, he says Melinda’s death was…

By the time police arrived at the scene, the men had only transferred about 20 of…

TWO top chemotherapy drugs cause killer breast cancer to migrate to the lungs, according to alarming new research. Paclitaxel and doxorubicin trigger breast tumors to release fluid-filled sacs containing proteins which promote immune cells that boost dangerous lung tumors, say scientists at the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research. Chemotherapy is often administered to shrink malignant masses, making them easier to remove via surgery. But the method isn’t always successful, and in some cases the disease metastasizes, or spreads to other parts of the body. “Our study has identified a new link between chemotherapy and breast cancer metastasis,” says head researcher Prof. Michele De Palma, whose team is developing a treatment to stifle the damaging surge of proteins caused by chemo to help eliminate the deadly side effect.…
