Embryonic stem cells, which come from embryos typically four to five days old, differ from adult stem cells in that scientists can reliably develop embryonic stem cells into different cell types. Federal funding, however, is only granted for research done on the existing embryonic stem cell lines President Bush identified in 2001, cell lines which are increasingly obsolete for cutting edge research. Current Massachusetts law is ambiguous on the topic of embryonic stem cell research. This is why the new Massachusetts law is so important. It will mean that the state government will actively work to encourage and foster embryonic...
...observed Harvard relationships as they developed and in the post-breakup stage. She found that relationships between Harvard students differ from the national average in one key area. “Whereas satisfaction increases over time in most relationships, it decreases over time at Harvard,” Zuzul said, though she admitted that the times she tested people could have contributed to this depressing statistic. She tested her pool at the beginning and end of first semester—in work-free September and and during reading period, at the winter solstice...

Two students were killed, one instantly; about 20 other demonstrators were wounded, and several policemen suffered shrapnel wounds...
Discussions preceding the summit have often seemed to highlight rather than narrow differences. On arms control, inevitably the main issue in a world living under a perpetual threat of nuclear extinction, the U.S. and U.S.S.R. have exchanged proposals that call for cutting to 6,000 the number of "nuclear charges" in their arsenals, but they differ deeply on what warheads and bombs to put in that category. Progress, if any is possible, awaits a decision by Reagan to agree to some limits on his Star Wars defensive shield, or by Gorbachev to shoot for a deal without any such limits...
