...President to come to his House and steal his good seats. That's what Republicans are claiming happened last week at the State of the Union when White House aides nabbed the front seats on the G.O.P. side of the aisle.

WASHINGTON: In the blue corner: the forces of human decency, led by President Clinton, Health Secretary Donna Shalala and a whole heap of bandwagon-jumping congressmen. In the red corner: the cloning scientist everyone loves to hate, Dr. Richard Seed. That was the battle of the Sunday talk shows, as Seed went on Fox News to pronounce himself a champion of infertile couples. "Dr. Seed will not do human cloning in this country," promised Shalala on CBS. And Clinton used his weekly radio address to urge Congress to rush through his anti?human cloning bill ? a popular little number...
