Cedar Rapids, Ia. � Democratic presidential candidates vowed today to renew the "War on Cancer" that President Richard Nixon declared in 1971.

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich headlined the first-of-its kind forum, organized by the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

Armstrong, the cancer survivor and former bicycle racing superstar, helped question the candidates, who wore his group's yellow "Livestrong" bracelets.

The event at the US Cellular Center drew about 2,000 people, including many wearing the trademark yellow of cancer survivors. They watched as the Democratic candidates attacked the Bush administration for cutting research money to the National Cancer Institute.

Stress divides America's youth along gender lines 8/23/2007

NEW YORK -- Stressed out by your high-pressure job? Don't assume your kid is any less stressed out by school. Especially if she's a she. Young people experience stress at a high rate, and females more than males, an extensive Associated Press/MTV survey shows. A similar divide exists in terms of fears and safety: Girls and young women are less likely to feel safe in their neighborhoods, in schools or from terror attacks. The source of stress changes as we get older, the survey shows. Among 13- to 17-year-olds, school is by far the most commonly mentioned source. Among 18- to 24-year-olds, it's jobs and financial matters. In all, fully 85 percent of young people said they felt stress at least sometimes. "I'm a pretty high-stressed person," says Katie Duda, 21, who's finishing up a degree in culinary arts and awaiting the birth of her first child in a few weeks.
