Another old distinction is fading, too - the line between a "pastoral" Pope, like John XXIII, and the statesman-diplomat, like Pius XII. Though bred to the Curia, Paul VI so cherished his nine years as Archbishop of Milan that he determined that future Cardinals, even career Curia men, should have at least one good stretch of pastoral work. Most of the leading contenders are men with both pastoral and Curial experience...
...needed for experiments could be duplicated in great numbers, as could prize dairy cows, horses, sheep and pigs. But cloning human beings by the same procedure is another story. Homo sapiens is a mongrel breed. Unlike domesticated or laboratory animals, man has not had harmful and even lethal genes bred out of him. These genes remain in humans, many as recessives, suppressed by dominant normal genes. If humans could be cloned by Markert's method, these recessive genes could come to the fore and express themselves, causing deformities and genetic illnesses, even death...
...policy change to easier money when he appointed Miller, but he must know better by now. Both Miller's target and some of his rhetoric are so close to Burns' as to make many moneymen contend that, for all the differences in personality and style, Miller is a bred-in-the-bone central banker after all.

Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" (Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Carlo Maria Giulini, conductor; Deutsche Grammophon). In the case of the "New World" Symphony, familiarity has bred lack of imagination: conductors tend to blast through the great crescendos and wallow in the well-known themes.

Those who prefer their "New World" brooding and Slavic should stick with Stokowski's various recordings, but those with an ear for freshness will like this interpretation...
These strains have bred North-South tensions that easily match in bitterness the East-West ideological clashes. At conference after conference, LDCs have demanded a "new international economic order" involving vaguely defined transfers of wealth from North to South. Sometimes these demands have focused on acceptance of cartels that would jack up the prices of raw materials, sometimes on insistence that rich countries give preferential tariff treatment to products from LDCs. Poor-country spokesmen have accused multinational companies of ripping off their resources and proclaimed a right to nationalize them, while contending that multinationals have some kind of obligation...
