...last thing you want is for him to think he's disappointing you too. Don't try to call the college and challenge its decision; don't try to step in, as if rejection were a problem that could be fixed. This is your child's entry into adult-size experiences; he must handle...
Dolly was once an awfully lonely sheep. When the famously cloned animal made headlines in 1997, she was the only mammal ever to be manufactured from the cell of an adult donor. Since then, the clone ranks have swelled, with mice and cattle also toddling out of the labs. Last week cloning technology took another step forward when an international biotechnology company announced that it had created a litter of five genetically identical piglets, and that it had a pretty good idea of how they could one day be used: as organ donors for ailing humans...

Like its discoverer, Bambi was a juvenile, about 75% of adult size. It had a large brain, a birdlike wishbone and sternum, and winglike arms. These were so long, says University of Kansas paleontologist David Burnham, that the dinosaur "would have tripped over them" if they had hung down as it almost (but not quite) flew across the prehistoric landscape...
