Researchers hope that by studying the mammoth's genetic makeup they can discover why the species became extinct. But the real fun lies in the thought of watching a mammoth ? or a mammoth-cum-elephant ? rumbling over the plains. As for that possibility, scientists caution that the chance we?ll see one of these creatures in living, breathing form anytime soon remains remote. After all, there?s no certainty that after 23 millennia, the beast?s sperm will be potent, and in any case cloning is very rarely successful. The one sure bet is that Steven Spielberg has already reserved...
...worse, end up looking like the Phantom of the Opera. Skin heals faster (often in a week) with the newer Erbium lasers, which are cooler and can be used on the thinner surface of the neck and chest as well as the face, as long as the doctor exercises caution. Yet even these supposedly gentler lasers can sting and, in inexperienced hands, burn and scar if they penetrate too deep. Worse, up to 20% of CO2-laser patients (and possibly some Erbium ones as well) risk ending up with whitened skin one to two years after the procedure, according...
Because little information has come our way regarding Anna, coupled with the fact that there are four screenwriters credited with formulating the script (the more writers, the worse is my opinion), caution is advised before spending upwards of two hours in the theater. To see Chow Yun Fat finally in a North American dramatic role is tempting, but, like special effects, fantastic costumes and elaborate art direction are not sufficient criteria to spend upwards of five dollars on a film.

...smell of political red meat. Except when you ask the Republicans what they would do differently, the answer is: not much. They offer no fresh ideas, just stricter oversight of loans, more criticism of bad behavior, greater caution toward leaders. No one, not even firebrand Jesse Helms, who is about to launch Senate hearings, would stop all aid or cut Russia adrift. Candidates like George W. Bush don't disagree with the basic notion of engaging Russia either, so he's left to look for traction with the mushy "I'd manage it better" argument. Even the most skeptical voter...
...elder daughter Cicily finds at college, the outside world eventually intrudes. The most hurtful prejudice she encounters is from black classmates--a situation that comes to a head when she spends a semester in Africa that deepens and complicates her identity. And yet that self-fulfilling racist caution, "What about the children?," hardly obtains. Both Cicily and her sister Chaney have grown up well adjusted and confident, with a deep connection to both parents...
