...that causes infectious mononucleosis, follows a similar strategy, though its hiding place is not in the nerves but in the B cells, the very cells that make antibodies to viruses. In contrast to the dormant staying power of herpes viruses, the persistent hepatitis B virus can linger in the liver for decades while continuing to multiply. Those who are infected as infants, as many newborns in China, Southeast Asia and Africa are, almost always become lifelong carriers. "The virus doesn't do much damage for a long time," says Jesse Summers of the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia...

Many of these chronic viruses are now being linked to cancer. A landmark study conducted in Taiwan between 1975 and 1978 by Dr. R. Palmer Beasley, now at the University of California, San Francisco, found a striking connection between chronic hepatitis B infection and liver cancer, a leading killer in the Third World. "Someone infected with hepatitis B has 100 times the normal risk of developing liver cancer," says Beasley, "and that's being conservative." The Epstein-Barr virus has been associated with a couple of types of cancer. In Central Africa and New Guinea, it has been linked...

...makes us want to go out on that field and destroy," says Halfback Melvin Bratton. As it happens, the Hurricanes' cleanest liver is their finest player and main destroyer. In Vinny Testaverde, they have produced a third quarterback for the ages in just the '80s, their sixth decade in the business but the first to speak of. The Hurricanes had a tradition in the '40s, but not of winning. They canceled a game with UCLA rather than play against Jackie Robinson...

That the patients were only laboratory mice did not detract from the results: 100% cured of colon cancer that had spread to the liver, 50% cured of colon cancer spread to the lungs. These are remarkable cure rates for malignancies that are virtual death sentences for both mice and people. The encouraging results were announced last week by a researcher of near celebrity status, Dr. Steven Rosenberg of the National Cancer Institute. It was Rosenberg who, as spokesman for the team of doctors performing colon surgery on Ronald Reagan, shocked the nation last year by announcing on television, "The President...

...Harvard that is being celebrated this week was essentially the creation of Charles William Eliot about a century ago. An austere and high-minded man who suffered deeply from having a large, liver-colored birthmark across his right cheek, Eliot was a chemistry professor of such limited talents that when he applied for a vacant chair, the post was given to another man. Crushed, Eliot went to Europe, where he was deeply impressed by the German university system. America, he wrote, must develop "a system of education based chiefly upon the pure and applied sciences, the living European languages...
