...patients like Sam and Emma Melton, that ride carries with it the possibility of being free of the insulin pumps and injections they endure to keep their blood sugar under control. "I definitely think about how my life would be different if there is a cure," says Sam. His father is keenly aware that the ability of stem cells and reprogramming science to provide that cure is far from guaranteed. But his initial confidence in the power of the technology hasn't waned. "Everything we learned about stem cells tells us this was a really powerful approach," he says...

But there are other signs, signs of progress, indicating new hospitals and schools, and government-placed signs extolling a future of prosperity and public virtue: YES TO INVESTMENT. NO TO CORRUPTION. They indicate that Rwanda is moving...
...black-and-white photograph of his brother. Kenneth Lynch, a policeman, was 22 years old when he was shot in an IRA ambush in 1977. "I find these proposals totally repugnant", says Lynch. "How can they equate my brother's life with the people who killed him in cold blood?" He adds: "We want justice for what happened. We don't want to be bought...
