MATTHEW CHRISTOPHER MORRIS, the newborn son of softball coach KIT MORRIS, accompanied his father's squad to a spring break training dinner at Cambridge's renowned bar and eatery. Charlie's Kitchen--only two days after his arrival into the world...During the 16-5 shellacking of MIT Wednesday afternoon, each softball team member wore a green ribbon in memory of the children slain in Atlanta. The players plan to wear the ribbons in every game until the Atlanta case is solved...
...been linked to cancer of the cervix, which afflicts an estimated 16,000 U.S. women in its serious form and contributes to 7,400 deaths a year. But whether herpes actually causes cancer is a matter of debate. There is no doubt that herpes can be passed on to newborn babies if mothers have an active infection at the time of delivery. Each year several hundred babies are born with herpes simplex; more than half die, and survivors often suffer permanent neurological damage. One precaution being taken by some doctors is to order caesarean deliveries, a less emotionally jarring practice...
Some of the fortunate found relief from the tropical sun under the spreading leaves of mango trees in the embassy gardens. But others were overcome by sunstroke and dehydration.

...years since, Merigan and his Stanford team have successfully used IF to treat shingles and chicken pox in cancer patients. In other studies, IF has prevented the recurrence of CMV, a chronic viral disease that sometimes endangers newborn babies and kidney- transplant patients. Israeli doctors have also used IF eyedrops to combat a contagious and incapacitating viral eye infection commonly known as "pink eye." Researchers are now trying a combination of IF and the antiviral drug ara-A in patients with chronic hepatitis B infections. Interferon investigators have high hopes that the drug will be equally active against other viral...
When John and Jacqueline Kennedy lost their newborn son Patrick in 1963, most Americans had never heard of the disorder that took the life of the President's child: hyaline membrane disease (HMD). In fact, the major cause of HMD had been discovered only four years before by a Harvard research team. The disorder is largely confined to prematurely born infants; in the U.S. it strikes 20,000 "preemies" annually, and, despite improved treatment, still kills more than 3,000 of them...
