...Ellentuck (Doubleday; $3.95). Uncle Vanya is a most lovable-and most effective-teller of tall tales. Everything he says about his sunflower comes true; it grows and grows, completely shutting out the sun from the small Russian village. When he finally tells the truth, the sunflower shrinks back to normal size and everyone celebrates. The illustrations are colorful and peasant in feeling...
With Prendergast coordinating their efforts in all the confusion, the reporters boosted their normal output of 50,000 words a day to 100,000. By week's end, Cover Writers Dave Tinnin and Howard Muson and Editor Jason McManus were working from thorough and voluminous files...

Underneath the obvious grievances, a spiritual antagonism had built up against De Gaulle during the long years of his autocracy...
...undergraduates, as well as his graduate students, in his projects. Kafatos is investigating both how cells become specialized and how they sometimes change from one specific function to another. These questions are crucial for man's understanding of the cell's nature. Furthermore, since cancerous cells are previously normal ones which, for some reason, begin to change and spread wildly, his research may eventually prove to be valuable in the fight against cancer...
Kafatos is right now engaged in further experiments with the new salt, to test that informosomes actually do exist. It has been suggested that cancer is a special case of a cell's function being transformed by a virus. A cancer cell has broken out of the normal limits on its growth and function. If scientists can discover what makes cells less stable in their commitment to a limited, differentiated career, and thus more liable to become cancerous, he might be able to find ways to treat this process. Yet Kafatos repeatedly emphasizes the fact that he is still distant...
