...birth to another. Her cousin Bobby Cooper, 33, learned last spring that he has a rare form of leukemia and might be a candidate for a stem-cell transplant. Duke is one of about a dozen hospitals and blood centers in the country that is collecting blood from umbilical cords and using the cells to treat cancer patients. So Christina has agreed to donate her cord blood, in hopes of raising the odds that her cousin will find a match when he is ready for his transplant...
...lifter. She's getting closer, so Smith sets up his equipment and slathers on the antiseptic. "Pretty, pretty," he says. "Good work." At 2:14, Cothren announces, "It's half out." Christina bellows, "Pull it out!" "We don't pull this one out, honey," Cothren replies calmly. The umbilical-cord collection team has entered, gowned and masked like aliens. One more push, one more, one more and suddenly Smith is unslinging the head of Kyle Wayne Crosby from his valuable umbilical cord. The baby is hanging upside down, crying.

When he returns from space, he will face yet another battery of tests, including an MRI to look for changes in his spinal cord and bone-density tests to look for mineral loss. "All of this," Glenn says, "gives us the potential not only of dealing with the frailties of our already aged population but of helping younger people avoid problems as they...
...state of the Union. Oh, we don?t blame you, Larry Cockell -? the fault for the current ugliness lies with either Starr or Clinton, and most likely both. We like our presidential protectors tall, dark and inscrutable, preferably with mirrored sunglasses. With an earpiece and a little cord that disappears down past a starched collar. With nothing to say to us. Sure, we?ve giggled at you from time to time, but never to your face. You?re too scary, a shade less than human, and that?s the way we like...
