Vaccine for cancer
causing HPV found
BOSTON (AP) — Early test
ing shows an experimental vac
cine to be 100 percent effective
against the virus that causes cer
vical cancer, raising doctors’
hopes of someday sending the
lethal disease into retreat in the
same way as smallpox and polio.
“It appears to be the real
thing,” said Dr. Christopher
Crum, a pathologist at Brigham
and Women's Hospital in
Boston. “You’re looking at
some very compelling evidence
that this vaccine will prevent
cervical cancer.”
It remains unclear how long
the protection might last. Even
so, researchers say a vaccine
could reach the market within
five years or so.
The findings were published
in Thursday’s New England
Journal of Medicine. The issue
also carries separate research
findings showing potential
value in an experimental vac
cine for genital herpes.
Vaccines work by teaching
the body’s immune defenses to
recognize invading viruses and
bacteria. Most types of cancer,
by contrast, are blamed largely
on genetic mutations and envi
ronmental factors. However, vir
tually all cases of cervical can
cer are caused by a sexually
transmitted virus — the human
papilloma virus.
A vaccine for cervical cancer
is urgently being sought because
the disease strikes about 450,000
women worldwide each year,
killing about half. It is the lead
ing cancer killer of women in the
developing world. In the United
States, where Pap tests are wide
ly used for screening, it develops
in about 15,000 women annually
and kills about a third.
The new vaccine, aimed at the
viral strain Type 16 responsible
for about half the cases of cervi
cal cancer, was tested on women
ages 16 to 23 at 16 sites around
the country in a study led by
Merck & Co. and the University
of Washington. Merck developed
the vaccine and funded the
research. The women were

FREEHOLD, N.J. (AP) — A rabbi was convict
ed of murder Wednesday for hiring two men to beat
his wife to death so he could carry on an affair with
a woman he met while ministering to her dying
husband. He could now face a death sentence.
The verdict against Rabbi Fred J. Neulander.
61, came nearly a year after his first trial for the
1994 death of Carol Neulander at their suburban
Philadelphia home ended in a hung jury.
The rabbi stood expressionless as the verdict
was read, while his wife’s
brother and sister wept in
the courtroom gallery.
Jurors took 27 hours to
find Neulander guilty of
capital murder, felony
murder and murder con
spiracy.
The sentencing phase of
the trial begins Thursday.
Neulander, a founder of
Cherry Hill's large
Congregation M’kor
Shalom, took the stand last
year to deny any role in the
slaying. He said he and his
52-year-old wife had an “open marriage” in
which they agreed to see other people.
“I was selfish and arrogant. I went beyond the
bounds of the marriage,” Neulander testified then.
“I betrayed Carol. I betrayed my family. 1
betrayed my synagogue. I betrayed my religion.”
The rabbi did not testify this time.
Relatives of the victim and prosecutor James P.
Lynch said they would not discuss the case until
the rabbi is sentenced.
“We’re going to do all within ourpoM::
that this defendant gets a fair trial.’ Lynchv>-
The Neulanders were pillars ol thecoinns
in Cherry Hill, a wealthy suburb ol 70.00(1®
east of Philadelphia. They founded Congra
M’Kor Shalom together in 1974. and wick
grow to include nearly 1,000 families.
