...scientific preeminence does not come cheaply, and with its $155 million price tag, LISE is no exception. In its planning stages, the project drew criticism for contributing to a projected budget deficit in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS), and the University has still not secured a primary donor to help pay for the building...
...Stem cells generated by this method are ideal not just because they are free of political and moral baggage. They can also be coaxed into becoming any type of tissue, and then be transplanted back into the donor with little risk of rejection. Still, these cells are far from ready for medical use. The viruses used to ferry the genes that manipulate the cells can introduce genetic mutations and cancer. And with myriad ways to reprogram a cell, sorting out the best ones will take time - meaning that stem cells from embryos will remain useful (and controversial) for a while...

Groups like the Endangered Primate Rescue Center, founded largely on foreign initiative, help keep track of primate populations and train local scientists how to protect them.

The Clinton campaign also was the most forthcoming in describing its vetting methods. Obama spokesman Bill Burton said, "We make our best effort" to root out problems with donors, but he declined to specify the efforts. Likewise, Edwards spokeswoman Colleen Murray said that "every reasonable precaution" is taken to ensure the legality of her campaign...
