*************************************** Some cancer clusters could be more fiction than fact By JIM BARLOW Copyright 2002 Houston Chronicle Cancer clusters. Two words that can cause fear in a neighborhood. We all remember that plucky real-life Erin Brockovich in the movie of the same name. And how she forced a big power company to pay damages for leaking chemicals into the water system, which caused a cancer cluster. The only problem was, there was never any scientific evidence of any such thing. The power company just decided it was cheaper -- in legal and public relations terms -- to pay the money to make the whole thing go away. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/business/barlow/1427951 Adam C.
