There still was some talent — center Cherokee Parks, guard Jeff Capel, freshman Trajan Langdon — but after a 9-3 start, coach Mike Krzyzewski became too ill to continue the season and the team dissolved without him on the bench.

Scientists have long known that certain chemicals like paradioxane can cause cancer. Now we’re beginning to realize that the total of a person’s exposure to all the little amounts of cancerous agents in the environment may be just as harmful as big doses of a few well-known carcinogens. Over a lifetime, cigarettes deliver massive quantities of carcinogens that increase the risk of lung and other cancers. Our chances of getting cancer reflect the full gamut of carcinogens we’re exposed to each day—in air, water and food pollution, and cancerous ingredients or contaminants in household cleaners, clothing, furniture and the dozens of personal-care products many of us use daily....
