...think that would be a huge deal. The scientists, from three private labs in La Jolla, Calif., and Detroit made the clones by a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer: They took the nuclei from skin cells of adult men, inserted the genetic material into enucleated eggs from female donors, and got the eggs to begin dividing, forming embryos containing stem cells. In principle, replacement tissues grown from those cells would be genetically identical to the men they came from. So they could, in principle, be used to fix failing organs, without any fear of rejection...
...York can cultivate the arts as an industry sector for the same reason that Detroit can support the production of cars: because it offers a powerful infrastructure, a network of suppliers, expertise and kindred spirits.

His famously moderate Republican father George had been elected governor three times in the 1960s and had run against Richard Nixon for the G.O.P. presidential nomination in 1968. Even after 40 years, the family name retained some brand value. At every stop he made in his Mitt Mobile (a souped-up RV), Romney drew on his memories of those days and reminded voters that if elected President...
