...Dukakis chose a native Texan, say Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, as his running mate, Texas would almost certainly vote Democrat. Bentsen, born and bred in Texas, would portray Bush as the true prep-school Northerner he really is. With another choice, Texans would quickly turn from the part-time Texan with three homes around the United States. Besides, Bush just put down the state's hero...

Alpha alone comes in more than a dozen varieties. Interleukins are similarly prolific. "We are already up to interleukin-7 and interleukin-8," says Immunologist Lloyd Old, of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan, "and one can expect that we will go on from there." Scientists have so far discovered at least five different colony-stimulating factors, which cause cells in the bone marrow to mature and differentiate into red and white blood cells...

...cooks watching every move. Something like that is happening on Capitol Hill, where a mammoth conference committee is trying to reconcile differences in the omnibus trade bills passed last year by the House and Senate. Under the direction of two Democratic leaders -- Representative Dan Rostenkowski of Illinois and Senator Lloyd Bentsen of Texas -- the 199 members of the committee, along with 300 or so staffers and 100 briefcase carriers sent over by the White House, have been meeting in 17 subgroups in an all-out effort to get a comprehensive piece of legislation on President Reagan's desk by April...
