    Robert Stephens cosults with a patient in his office. During one weekend, Dr. Stephens talked by phone with 40 patients, was six in his office, visited eight at home and three in hospital, all at about a $3 hourly rate. Not rapacious for overtime work, he says.

    Victor Ling is world- renowned for his work in cancer research. Last year he received both the Dr. Josef Steiner Prize in Europe and the General Motors Kettering Prize - recognized as the top international award for cancer research - at a June dinner in Washington, D.C. Ling helped discover how cancer cells resist the effects of tumor-destroying drugs by using a tiny protein. The protein ejects drugs from the cell before they have time to act. Ling spent years refining and confirming the discovery, which has sparked a search for the right decoy drug capable of fooling the protein and allowing cancer-fighting drugs to slip in for the kill.
