Until Design is updated (which will be very soon)
source('http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/tmp/cphnew.s') after 
library(Design).

anova is not supposed to display parameter estimates.  For one thing, 
there is often more than one parameter associated with a term in the 
model.  Use summary(fit) to get hazard ratios for sensible covariate ranges.
