Perhaps that prepared him for the tug of wills on the Crouching Tiger set. Lee is as stubborn as he is gentle, adamant about putting on film the beautiful stunts he had dreamed of since childhood. Yuen had to play the stern adult. "Ang would say he didn't want to shoot things Wo-ping's way because it was an Ang Lee movie," Chow recalls. "But his ideas couldn't be worked out. Finally, he'd go to Wo-ping and say, 'Master, I'm wrong. Let's do it your way.'" At least Lee convinced Yuen...
...variations on cloning technology are already used in biotechnology labs all across the country. It is these techniques that will allow, among other things, the creation of cloned herds of sheep and cows that produce medicines in their milk. Researchers also hope that one day, the ability to clone adult human cells will make it possible to "grow" new hearts and livers and nerve cells...
...event hasn't happened already, as some scientists speculate. The team that cloned Dolly waited until she was seven months old to announce her existence.

You will be able to get an adult beverage, both there and in one of the gourmet restaurants in the new park. (What...
Like a lot of children's literature, these stories - sometimes spanning two issues - feature beloved objects that have come to life. The titular sock-monkey, named Uncle Gabby, and Mr. Crow, a cloth crow with button eyes, get into adventures by innocently imitating the adult world. The stories read like original Grimm's fairy tales - the ones where Cinderella's stepsisters hack away at their feet with an ax so they will fit the glass slipper. They have a romantic, quaint naïveté mixed with moments of modern existential horror...
