...been talking up plans to "peel Syria away" from its ties to Iran, although its refusal to talk directly to Damascus means it has to outsource the job to Arab allies viewed by Syria with contempt.

She was cloned from a single mammary cell of an adult ewe, overturning long-held scientific dogma that had declared such a thing biologically impossible. Her birth set off a race in laboratories...

A small part of God was murdered along with every innocent man, woman and child in the Nazi death camps, and God's question with each dying breath was, "Why, humankind, do you remain silent?
