This question has something to do with a woman who died of lung cancer
in 1970.

That's Gypsy Rose Lee. The musical about her has a song entitled "Mr.
Goldstone, I Love You" with the line "Have an eggroll, Mr. Goldstone"
and there's a Goldstone boson.

Henrietta Lacks died much earlier than 1970 (about 1948, I think) and
she didn't die from lung cancer (cervical, I think).

Still, I like franzi's answer better (though I'm not sure that gluons
are bosons -- one of our physicists will know, Jan, perhaps, though
this may be too frivolous for him).

Damn, I'd got all that except for the last five words.

They are, totally officially. All the particles that carry forces--
photons, the W and Z, gluons, and the legendary spin-2 graviton--are
bosons.

Thank you!
There are lots of Goldstone bosons. Any phase transition with
spontaneous symmetry breaking produces one or more, unless they're
"eaten" by the Higgs mechanism.

Jerry Friedman, T. O. Panelist, hopes that clears things up.
I seem to have posted the message you quote as a response to the wrong
message. It was supposed to be a reply to James (whose answer I thought
was probably the right one, though less appealing than franzi's).
