...heart has stopped? They have to do direct massage of the heart. You could say the doctor is playing God. But we save a life. With human cloning, we're not so much saving a life as creating a new being by manipulation of the raw materials, DNA, the blueprint for life. You're simply using it in a more creative manner...
...third-rate chaos swirling around him. That's how most Japanese want to see themselves. Their nation has become an economic and political farce. Feckless, forgettable Prime Ministers come and go. The moribund economy has come to resemble more the surreal vision of Salvador Dali than the sound blueprint of Adam Smith. And for the first time since World War II, the average Japanese faces the prospect of a diminishing standard of living.

Once the protests were over, Zhao's faction was stripped of power...
...idea of a national faith-based aid fund back in the summer of 1999, when he was still gathering steam for his national bid. The specifics of that plan - $8 billion in new federal spending for use by charities and churches - are remarkably similar to those of the blueprint the President announced Monday. Even the idea of allowing religious groups to bid on government contracts to provide job training and other "bootstrap" services has been around for a while - thanks to Senator John Ashcroft, who insisted that just such a provision be inserted in the 1996 welfare reform bill...
