I also would like to be able to find a solution to the problems of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf.

But scientists say that it will take them years to develop such treatments because so little is known about the cells...
...newer apostles of home schooling like William Bennett believe the future holds more cooperation. He says school administrators will work to develop a "Chinese-menu-style education," for instance, that allows home schoolers to have a math class here and a band course there without buying the whole K-12 puu-puu platter. On the other hand, it remains to be seen whether public schools can still play a vital role in communities if they become simply another consumer good pushed by market forces and not a common good that transcends them...
