...class; according to polls taken before the election, a majority of both groups planned to vote for her. Only unskilled workers have remained safely in the Labor camp, and theirs is a dwindling breed. Next year, for the first time, blue-collar workers will be outnumbered by white-collar workers in the labor force. Meanwhile, surveys show that voters today are growing less and less likely to vote by class, simply along the lines of bowler hat vs. cloth cap. As if that were not advantage enough for Thatcher, Britain's population is shifting from the big cities that have...
...likelihood, however, when cloned food products are finally introduced in the U.S., they will make up a minuscule part of the overall meat market. Breeding clones isn't easy or cheap - a cloned cow costs between $10,000 and $20,000 to breed, compared to as little as $50 for a standard cow.

Was there the curse of condescension toward a breed that has ranked among the top 10 most popular dogs in the U.S. for nearly a century? The saluki was elegant and urbane; the Plott hound tough and tireless. Dogs, however, are judged not against one another but against perfection, and here, in all its modesty, was magic: Uno became...
...poetry to his reputation yet almost certainly contributed to the old lion's final vanquishment by cancer last month at the age of 64. Viewing him through posterity's filter, it is clear that he wasn't simply a local firebrand and celebrity. He was the last of a breed of reckless, old-style, table-thumping China Coast journalists...
