Across at least six proper albums and numerous other releases, Stereolab has proven itself to be one of the major indie rock forces of the '90s. Originally written off as a left-leaning Neu! clone with lounge inclinations, the band has consistently managed to reinvent itself. Its latest, Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night, ranks with their best work, 1993's Transient Random-Noise Burst with Announcements. On this trip out, Chicago-based producers John McEntire and Jim O'Rourke provide Stereolab with a rich, layered sound, leaving behind the cold Cologne sound...
...advisers were worried that doing so would lead to a spate of "rift" articles of the kind that have been chronicling tensions between Al Gore and the President. But Hillary and her team believe it is most important to ever-so-gingerly demonstrate that she is not his policy clone.

And so last week Hillary began opening up about policy agreements and disagreements--programs...
While the age of the donor is probably partly responsible, the research team--which included Ian Wilmut, Dolly's creator--may have discovered another factor. The more time a clone embryo spent in a test tube before transfer to a womb, the shorter the clone's telomeres. "In culture, cells go through 20 divisions," says research director Alan Colman. "That's a significant percentage of the 150 they go through in a lifetime...
...This is the first major sign that there is no such thing as a perfect clone," says TIME senior science writer Jeffrey Kluger. "There has always been concern that when you copy, what you get is no better, and maybe a little worse, than the original, as when you copy a document." These findings raise questions not only about what you get with the first copy, but also what you might get with copies of copies. There is no indication yet that Dolly will die prematurely -- the shortened telomeres may have lessened her cells' genetically-programmed maximum lifespan; however, this...
