...Still, Hwang has a lot of explaining to do. He is already being investigated by his own university. And earlier this week, eight stem cell scientists, led by Dolly cloner Ian Wilmut, submitted a letter to Science, noting that ?accusations made in the press about the validity of the experiments published in South Korea are, in our opinion, best resolved within the scientific community... we encourage Hwang?s laboratory to cooperate with us to perform an independent test of his cell lines.? At stake, say the scientists, is the fledging field of stem cell science, which holds the potential...
Meanwhile, the question many researchers are asking is: What will the South Koreans do next? Hwang met last week with Scotland's Ian Wilmut, Dolly's cloner, who wants to work with the South Koreans on Lou Gehrig's disease. Similar collaborations are under way at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Md.

...program called the Cookie Monster, the screen suddenly goes blank. Seconds later, the words "I want a cookie" appear. If the user types "cookie," the machine returns to normal. A few years ago, Richard Skrenta Jr., an 18-year-old Northwestern University student, wrote a virus program called Cloner. Every 30th time a disk containing the program is used, the virus harmlessly flashes a few verses across the screen; then the interrupted task resumes where it left off. "I wrote it as a joke to see how far it would spread," says Skrenta. "But it's easy for a malicious...
