Last Tuesday night Dukakis summoned Brountas and Sasso to his home in Brookline, Mass. By the end of the evening the decision was made to welcome the errant surrogate son back into the fold. Sasso was awarded the purposely ambiguous title of vice chairman of the campaign. But in effect the campaign structure was altered to allow each member of the ruling troika to do what he or she does best. Sasso will become the dominant figure, mapping strategy and massaging Democratic political leaders. Brountas, who combines political inexperience with mature judgment and long friendship with Dukakis, will provide...

Suddenly a burly, bearded figure bounds across the room and, without a word, yanks an errant hair from the vice-presidential eyebrow.

...attempt to find a more selective treatment for Type 1 diabetes, researchers are trying to figure out exactly why the immune system attacks the beta cells. Last October a Stanford University team discovered errant forms of a gene that controls the development and growth of the culprit T cells. The team's conjecture: in Type 1 diabetics, this gene produces a protein badge that differs slightly from the norm in structure, causing the immune system to attack the beta cells. Eventually, the group hopes to find a way to neutralize the harmful effects of the molecule and thus eliminate...
...next game. Damon put third baseman Aron Allen aboard with a free pass, and Caprio moved him to second with a drive into right. Dave O'Connell followed with a sacrifice fly to right. Penn rightfielder Jason Psirogianes tried to nail Allen tagging up from second, but his errant throw allowed Aron to score and Caprio to advance to second...
