Thanks very much for your state-specific congressional-election guides [ELECTION '96, Nov. 4]. Sadly, I learned more from the insert on my home state than I did from the local media coverage and the appearances and ads that the candidates spent millions of dollars on. Excellent work. I am also continually amazed by the district-specific congressional facts you print from time to time. They are an oasis of truth after months of exaggerated figures and lies from candidate to candidate and party to party. Three cheers for technology and hard work!

Kennedy and Moakley are longtime proponents of organ donation legislation. They were founders of the bi-partisan Congressional Task Force on Organ and Tissue Donation and championed the Organ Donor Card Insert Act and the Organ and Bone Marrow Transplant Program...
Another problem is getting viral vectors into bone-marrow stem cells, from which all of the blood's white cells are descended. Even when the rare stem cells are found, inserting genes into them is difficult because they divide infrequently, and the vectors used in gene therapy insert genes only into cells that are dividing. Had Anderson's group been able to use stem cells in the landmark therapy with little Ashanthi DeSilva, for example, follow-up treatments would not have been necessary. Endowed with the normal gene, the marrow stem cells would have produced a continuing supply...
From headache sufferers to cancer patients, 50 million Americans live with pain, sometimes mild, sometimes crippling. Researchers are currently testing, in animals, a more convenient and safer way to deliver relief. Taking their cue from the birth-control implant Norplant, which is inserted under the skin and provides long-term contraceptive protection, researchers have packed a button-size insert with a powerful narcotic. Implanted under the skin, the device releases analgesic into the bloodstream continuously for three months. Tests on cancer patients will begin within a year...
