...pictures established him as a force in British painting. Said London's Art News & Review: "This remarkable series of paintings is not romantic or expressionist, as are most Crucifixions, but may rather be described as liturgical, ritualistic, learned and arcane . . . executed with great resource and command of the medium." Describing Rose as "an artist who believes in both Christ and Picasso," the Catholic Herald went out of its way to "quell any suspicion that the painting is strange and difficult because the painter is only partially acquainted with his sublime theme ...

The very fact that they grow rapidly in a chemical medium, the blood, in which normal cells grow slowly, is sufficient proof that they are different. To find and exploit the differences is the chief goal of Sloan-Kettering Institute. The problem is being attacked at all levels-from simple testing of promising drugs to long-range exploration of the internal workings of cells...
