Combs: I don't have no problem with that. I think kids shouldn't be able to listen to some of these albums till their minds are fully developed and ready to digest an album with certain realities on there. There are realities that may be too harsh for young ears. Even though it's a reality and it needs to be said, it may not need to be said to a 10-year...
...hasn't worked, charging that sales were down for the first three weeks of May. Although McDonald's chairman Jack Greenberg dismisses stories of franchisee unrest as "a guy with a fax machine and eight guys with lawsuits," the corporation has found relations with local operators increasingly hard to digest. The company that used to closely follow founder Ray Kroc's dictum that McDonald's would only be as successful as the local restaurant owner is now oriented to pleasing the stockholder, often at the expense of the franchisee. McDonald's has pushed hard to increase the number of stores...
...that I grew up in Georgia, moved north one summer 30 years ago, and haven't lived anywhere south of Brooklyn since. A few years ago I did spend July in Atlanta, where I found to my ethnic chagrin that at temperatures over 90[degrees] I could no longer digest hush puppies. You might accuse me of having some kind of compensatory agenda, like an ex-communist swung drastically to the right...
...object to having done all this work. Writing papers is, of course, one of the prime ways we digest information and ideas, and I even find it (at times) enjoyable.

Paper-writing, rather than serving as an integral part of the learning process, all too often becomes something we do on our own, late at night, hunched in front of our computers, with one overriding goal: to just get it done. If my work habits fall toward the middle of the spectrum, this...
Nobody at Roslin or PPL is talking about cloning humans. Even if they were, their procedure is obviously not practical--not as long as dozens of surrogates need to be impregnated for each successful birth. And that is probably a good thing, because it gives the public time to digest the news--and policymakers time to find ways to prevent abuses without blocking scientific progress. If the policymakers succeed, and if their guidelines win international acceptance, it may take a lot longer than the editorial writers and talk-show hosts think before a human clone emerges--even from the shadows...
