But, no, this strange beast crawled--actually it flew--out of the pages of the august journal Science last week. In a new study, researchers from the University of Basel in Switzerland described how they genetically engineered swarms of bizarre fruit flies-not as an attention-grabbing stunt but as part of a serious effort to understand how nature fashions something as magnificent...

Heflin, 73, has medical problems, and Pryor, 60, is keeping mum for the moment...
...driven, instinctive and fanatically goal-oriented; he is often insensitive to appearances and unwilling to listen to his peers, teeming with self-confidence and uncannily able to get what he wants. He has been underestimated at every step of his career. Even as he sits on a political war chest larger than that of any of his opponents, leads the field in endorsements from congressional colleagues, and has won six consecutive Republican Party straw polls--in Arkansas, Louisiana, Arizona, Missouri, California and South Carolina--many party members, particularly those in the Northeast and Midwest, continue to downplay his chances...
