...himself directly into the story. He becomes one of the primary characters and narrates in first-person, which, he says, “may be reliable. Or not.” The portrait features the book’s most indelible image: ignoring the “bulging black cumulus clouds” and eventual thunderstorm, the murderous Ramírez Hoffman sky-wrights a poem from his plane, one line at a time (“Death is friendship,” “Death is Chile,” “Death is my heart?...
...weather rolled into New York City on Tuesday afternoon when two very talented designers shifted the fashion temperature from hot and sticky to calm and cool. Zac Posen ended his beautifully refined show with a quartet of "cloud" dresses - from nimbus to cumulus to cyclone - all in washed and dyed silk that was literally gathered and draped to look like a cloud bursting off a model's shoulder on top of a long gown or swirling around her torso in the case of a strapless shift.

The Korean technique has only worked in women so far, perhaps because they alone have cumulus cells, which seem especially amenable to cloning. It should work in men too, but first, researchers will have to isolate the male equivalent of cumulus cells. Moreover, scientists are still learning how to coax stem cells into becoming particular types of tissue, and for many diseases they don't even know what kind of cells they need...
