...little too long. My book Pay It Down, now out in paperback, contains a step-by-step plan based on the idea that digging out of debt means reversing the process. So think about expenditures that you can trim. The faster you want it to happen, the bigger the cuts you have to make. While eliminating a daily latte will do a bit of good, you'll do better to focus on the dramatic. Do you really need that third car, for example? What if you cut back to basic cable or a bare-bones cell-phone plan...

For starters, they are less crowded, and are often inexpensive or free. In these institutions, adventurous tourists can find colorful, offbeat exhibits highlighting world-class collections, in some cases the only ones of their kind...
...does that leave the field of ESC research? Not as badly hurt as it may seem. "There are 20 years of research, and one set of lies won't trash the whole field," says Christopher Thomas Scott, Stanford University bioethicist and author of the book Stem Cell Now. The bigger backlash is likely to be political, as the scandal gives further ammunition to those who view ESC research as inherently unethical.
