...once, I totally agree with Krauthammer. I'm not sure a capital crime can be charged for creating headless humans, but withholding any kind of funding should help. The argument that cloning humans for their organs might save lives is spurious, since any respect for life seems completely absent from this misbegotten enterprise. Simply because we have the technology to do something does not automatically lead to the conclusion that it should be done. FRANCES STANDAERT Eindhoven, the Netherlands...

Clinton does not want sex; he wants love. He never got enough as a kid (dead father, abusive stepfather, absent mother), and he cannot get enough of it now. Anyone who is not given sufficient love as a child will spend the rest of his life looking for it, and so he has.

A tourist and a restaurant worker were said to have made, as prosecutors put it, tentative identifications. "A tentative identification is the equivalent of a partial pregnancy," says Stafford-Smith. "There is no such thing." Stafford-Smith charges that Babin and the other "tentative" witnesses were coached by detectives to identify Cousin in the photo lineup...

...each new film. The bad guys in each movie must all have flunked out of elementary bad guy school, where dealing with James Bond is a more important part of the curriculum than even sections devoted to Superman and proper income tax return techniques. They were most assuredly all absent the day The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly was shown and Eli Wallach's priceless gem of wisdom was studied: "When you gotta shoot, shoot, don't talk...
