Nonetheless, Ayares is optimistic, insisting that pig organs could be available in as little as five years. Hardy believes that whenever the tissue does come along, it will at first be rather small-bore stuff--pancreatic islet cells for diabetics, say--rather than hearts, kidneys or lungs. Whatever it is, even a little new transplant material is a big improvement over what's available now, and for gravely ill patients awaiting a donor, that's no small thing...
Fact: no one will enjoy our entertainment. "Seinfeld" will resonate with future generations about as much as "The Honeymooners" hits home with us. "The Simpsons" will be as cutting as "The Howdy Doody Show." Stephen King and Anne Rice will bore those who find them at second-hand sales. John Grisham and Danielle Steel will be unknown and unread.

He is waging a classic guerrilla struggle, aimed at public opinion and the political elite in Moscow. The objective is to undermine Russia's confidence...
...dragged under by rough seas while trying to lash Elian to his inner tube. One day, while spreading newspapers on the kitchen floor to house-train the boy's new puppy (a gift from a Cuban-American politician), Lazaro says, he inadvertently put down a page that bore a large picture of Elizabet. Seeing it, Elian shouted and cried. He made Lazaro cut it out and frame it for his bedside. When the reality of what happened out in the ocean comes crashing down on Elian, and when the glow of Disney World and all the attention and gifts wears...
