Though AIDS sufferers have yet to benefit from the Franco-American "miracle," research on the virus has shed considerable light on the nature of their disease and why it so devastates the immune system. The virus launches a direct attack on helper T cells (or T lymphocytes, as they are also known), invading them in much the same way that the hepatitis virus homes in on cells in the liver. Once ensconced in the T cell, explains Dr. Clifford Lane of the National Institutes of Health, the AIDS virus prevents this vital cell from doing its job as "the initiator...
Arthur Walker's trial shed new light on his brother's activities. Not only did John recruit his son, brother and best friend as spies, he allegedly strapped a money belt on his unsuspecting mother to bring spy payments back from Europe.

The absence of cancer cells in the nodes suggests that any cells that may have been shed from Reagan's tumor had not reached the bloodstream or the lymphatic system, although Rosenberg conceded that doctors could not be certain of that. By either route, cancer cells can be transported to other parts of the body, where some of them may lodge, multiply and form new tumors...
