...says Immunologist Lloyd Old, of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan, "and one can expect that we will go on from there." Scientists have so far discovered at least five different colony-stimulating factors, which cause cells in the bone marrow to mature and differentiate into red and white blood cells. Each of the players seems to have a vital, if sometimes overlapping, role...
...Dukakis, especially when it allows Republicans to snicker at his much touted Massachusetts Miracle. Last week the front runner in the Democratic presidential campaign was forced to concede that sagging tax revenues have thrown his $11.6 billion 1988 budget out of balance by more than $300 million, with additional red ink forecast for 1989. Since the Massachusetts constitution mandates a balanced budget, Dukakis must trim spending programs -- a task that should be good practice if he ever moves to the Oval Office...

While the FAA found such violations as a faded red EXIT light, a frayed seat belt and a minor oil leak, the agency says it has uncovered no major problems during the investigation, which is expected to conclude next week. Texas Air believes the special inspection will exonerate the airline and win back public confidence. The checkup, Lorenzo predicted...
...paint (and the wood) is another matter. Where does that peculiar, dense, purply brown shading of Picasso's early work come from but the bodies of Gauguin's Tahitians? Most of early Matisse seems present in the twining lines and harsh dissonances of red, yellow and green with which Gauguin pictured himself 15 years before in the sardonic Self-Portrait with Halo, 1889. Gauguin's sculpture and painting were basic to German expressionism, and even Henri Rousseau seems to have based his Sleeping Gypsy on Gauguin's goose-pimply image of erotic shame, The Loss of Virginity...
