In Minneapolis, 14-year-old Marlon Barrow fell ill after drinking chocolate milk from a carton that proved, on analysis, to contain traces of sodium hydroxide, a caustic chemical. In Juno Beach, Fla., Policeman Harry Browning, 27, began vomiting within seconds of drinking Tropicana orange juice that could have been injected with insecticide. In the Detroit area, two razor blades and one nail were found in packages of Ball Park Franks within 24 hours last week...

Its 82 stories will contain 2 million sq. ft. of rentable space. The developers, Southwest Bancshares Inc. and Century Development Corp., picked as their architect Helmut Jahn, 42, president of Chicago's Murphy/Jahn...

Researchers are also learning just how a cancer virus can alter normal cell DNA. Some cancer viruses contain cancer-causing genes, or oncogenes. When these genes are isolated and then transferred into healthy cell cultures in the laboratory, they create malignant cells. In the past decade, more than 15 oncogenes have been found in cancer viruses...
...many cancer viruses do not appear to contain oncogenes. These viruses seem to cause cancer in a less direct way, perhaps by altering genes that are already in the normal cell. Investigating this possibility, Microbiologists J. Michael Bishop and Harold Varmus of the University of California School of Medicine at San Francisco made an astonishing discovery: genes almost identical to the cancer-causing genes in viruses can be found in the normal cells of all manner of creatures, from fruit flies to humans. The supposition is that these harmless genes can easily be turned into the dangerous genes they...
