Virus particles have been found in some human cancers, but this does not prove that they caused the disease. Some tumor viruses invade an animal, yet they disappear for months or years, and then belatedly cause cancer. The hows and whys of this latent period are unknown. One partial explanation may lie in the ability of new "provirus" particles to remain undetected in cells, doing no evident damage until they are stimulated by chemicals or X rays. The important thing is that these nucleic-acid molecules can be infective by themselves, with no assist from the protein that normally accompanies...
...they seek sanctuary. But nature suggests that there is a way. If it takes days or weeks for protective antibodies to develop, why does not the pullulating virus overwhelm all the victim's susceptible cells in the meantime? London's Dr. Alick Isaacs last year found a partial answer. Virus-infected cells produce a substance that Isaacs calls interferon, which spreads to neighboring, uninfected cells. With their interferon guard up, these cells are unusually resistant to viral invasion...
Poets' Theatre in particular ought to consider more thoroughly their policy of staging plays which admittedly are unfinished. While the "workshop" arrangement of showing new plays to limited audiences is ostensibly designed to aid the playwright, it can produce an opposite effect if the term "workshop" becomes a partial excuse for incomplete work...
