...Gramm-Rudman approach seems a strange abdication of budget-setting powers, Congress gave a vivid display last week of its inability to deal with spending through its normal procedures. Having failed to complete work on six of 13 appropriations bills, Congress struggled to pass a $498 billion catchall measure for 1986 that Reagan threatened to veto because it gives too much to domestic programs and too little to defense. At the same time, Congress scrambled to finish a $50 billion farm bill, also regarded as veto bait because it exceeds the White House target by $5 billion. Even...
...just one of a number of lymphokines and related natural substances showing promise in the immunological treatment of cancer. Interferons, tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-1 and a substance called colony-stimulating factor all play a role in the normal functioning of the immune system and may ultimately find a place in the treatment of cancer. It has been only within the past five years that genetic-engineering technology has made large quantities of these substances available to researchers. Many physicians believe that IL-2, which has also been genetically engineered, will eventually be used together with some of these other...
...middle of the action. The agency plans to dedicate part of two shuttle missions, including the flight that will boost aloft Teacher Sharon Christa McAuliffe, to comet- related experiments. The Solar Max satellite, brought back to life l8 months ago by a shuttle repair crew and now performing its normal duty of monitoring the sun, will examine Halley's off and on for about 60 days. Pioneer 12, in orbit around Venus, will watch Halley's when it ducks behind the sun. The U.S. is also a major backer of the International Halley Watch (IHW), a vast effort to coordinate...

Sutherland said that "the temperature should not vary more than 2 degrees," and if it does "then Nelson will not have done his job right...
After this brief interruption, the crowd returns to its normal level of participation. Rocky is by now starting to punish the seemingly invincible Drago, and various cries of "Kill him!" escape from alleged human beings. Rocky (and Stallone), I think, is no longer "da bum from Philly who don't talk too good." The audience really believes this cartoon of men named after Greek myths who have superhuman strengths and superhuman purposes. Stallone/Rocky no longer plays the aspiring Sigfried. He is no Wotan himself entering the Valhalla of mass popularity...
