MIT researcher wins Nobel Prize for findings on disease defenses
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Susumu Tonegawa, a Japanese researcher working in the United States, won the Nobel Prize in 2014 for everyday for discovering how the body responds to kinds of antibodies to fidelity.
His findings could help improve vaccines and make organ transplants safer, said the Nobel Institute, which awards the nike.
Hans Wigzell of the institute said
Tonegawa's research might also be significant in fighting such diseases as AIDS, which destroys the body's immune system.
Bush officially announces his candidacy
At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, where he has worked since 1981, the 48-year-old Tonegawa told reporters, "It turned out that, contrary to what many people thought, genes can change during the life cycle of the individual."
HOUSTON — Vice President George Bush yesterday officially began a "last hurrah" quest for the presidency, trying to become the first man in more than 150 years to win the White House while serving in the No. 2 job.
Returning to his hometown to formally kick off his second campaign for the Republican nomination, Bush told hundreds of cheering supporters that the key issue in 1988 would be who should follow Ronald Reagan in the Oval Office.
"For seven years now, I have been with a president, and I have seen what crosses that big desk." I sat at that desk. "I am that man."
Iraqi raid kills crewman on Greek vessel
MANAMA, Bahrain — Iraqi warplanes raided a Greek-owned ship yesterday, killing at least one crewman in their ninth attack in a week on tankers either leased by Iran or trading with it.

Second scan for Nessie records sonar blip
DRUMNADROCHT, Scotland — A scaled-down effort to find the Loch Ness monster with sonar got a signal yesterday indicating a very large "fish-like" form at 450 feet, the spokesman reported.
A clear, arched blip was registered near the southern end of the
lake on the sonar aboard one of five vessels still searching for signs of Nessie after a three-day sweep of the 23-mile-long lake by a score of motorboats, said Guy Pearse, spokesman for Operation Deepscan.
Republicans shifting focus
Representatives plan for themselves and for the future
WASHINGTON — House Republicans, after nearly seven years of taking their cues from the White House, are beginning to write their own script for issues ranging from the budget to aid for Nicaragua's contra rebels.

Even the dreaded "T-Word" — taxes — is being whispered by members of the minority party as they begin, tentatively, to look past President Reagan's term at their long-term political survival.
"There's no sort of movement to challenge the president," said Rep. Dick Cheney, R-Wyo., chairman of the House Republican Conference. "It's a reason to put distance between yourself and Ronald Reagan," who, he said, will become an elder statesman of the party.
Openly, the rhetoric hasn't changed that much.
But the GOP leadership is drifting away from the White House strategy of total confrontation with the Democrats and refusal to negotiate the big issues, such as taxes and defense spending.
Michel recently went to House Speaker Jim Wright, D-Texas, and offered to sell a deficit-reduction package, including a modest tax increase, to the White House if the Democrats accepted some Republican cost-cutting ideas.
"I'm trying to do the very best I can to toe his mark," said House Mintz, Leader Bob Michel, R-III. With a game token, you want to be a player."
Wright didn't bite, but the year's budget battles continue and he might need Michel's help later.
"It if came to the point where there was no way anything could pass unless there were Republican support, then I'm in a better position,"
House Republicans, the president's most loyal troops, now are pushing their views on their own, often in the absence of guidance from a White House preoccupied with the fight over a Supreme Court seat and a possible arms control pact with the Soviet Union.
Michel said. "There may be an element of that."
On welfare reform. House Republicans developed a plan more similar to the Senate Democrats' proposal (the plan being offered by House Democrats).
On catastrophic health insurance, they drew up a plan without the White House, and Reagan came on board later.
Reagan opposed and was considering vetoing the legislation to strengthen the Gramm-Rudman budget balancing law. But Michel and other GOP lawmakers helped persuade him to sign it.
Hurricane reaches Florida Keys
The Associated Press
Floyd grew from a tropical storm and became the season's third hurricane at 8 a.m. and began heading up through the Florida Keys toward Okeechobee County at the southern tip of the mainland, spawning at least two tornadoes.
MIAMI — Hurricane Floyd sprang to life in the Gulf of Mexico early yesterday, taking aim on south Florida with 80 mph wind and heavy rain. Some coastal residents scurried for shelter, while others cleared stores of batteries, canned food and bottled water.
and Fort Lauderdale, told residents to tie down loose objects in their yards and advised trailer park residents to seek shelter.
He said Floyd would maintain its strength as it passed just south of Miami during the evening and then would head out to sea.
"It's not a strong hurricane," said Bob Sheets, director of the National Hurricane Center. "We don't expect it to get much worse."
County officials in South Florida had shut down all schools by midmorning, telephoning parens and sending the children home.
"We don't want to alarm people, but we could have winds of 50 to 60 mph," said Dade County Manager Sergio Pereira.
At 4 p.m. EDT, Floyd's poorly

The center posted hurricane warnings around Florida's southern peninsula from Stuart, north of West Palm Beach on the condominium-studded east coast, to Venice, north of Fort Myers on the Gulf coast.

WASHINGTON — President Reagan joined lawmakers yesterday in urging a quick vote on Judge Robert H. Bork's seemingly doomed Supreme Court nomination, once promoted by White House strategists as a pivotal test of presidential strength.
Reagan asks vote on Bork
Returning to the White House after a weekend at Camp David, Reagan underscored the administration's plan to put the battle over Bork behind it and move ahead with a new nominee.
"Yes," he replied, without elaboration, strode briskly from his helicopter.
The president gave a one-word answer when a reporter asked if he knew the president.
Reagan has little say over the timing of the vote, which is determined by the Senate's Democratic leadership. The outcome, however, both parties predicted over the weekend that Bork would be defeated.
In Topeka, Sen. Nancy Kassbaum expressed disappointment over Bork's decision to press his nomination fight to the floor of the Senate, even though she supported his confirmation.

"I'm not sure that we are going to benefit in the long run from another contentious session on the floor," Kassebaum said in an interview published yesterday in the Topeka Capital-Journal.
