...UNITED STATES G.M. Children Researchers in New Jersey confirmed the births of the world's first genetically modified babies. Thirty children have been conceived through the new fertility treatment, ooplasmic transfer, which takes part of a donor's egg and injects it into an infertile woman's egg along with sperm. Some of the babies carry genetic material from all three "parents...
...rich country that buys Van Goghs and golf courses, gives billions for roads and bridges and gets ripped off when it goes traveling - can't get a break. Since 1969, Japan's government has spent $80 billion in assistance on its Asian neighbors. It is Indonesia's third-largest donor, behind the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank.

...involved in the probe. BETH DOZORETZ, a friend of Bill Clinton's, testified before the grand jury earlier this month, as have JACK QUINN and ROBERT FINK, lawyers for pardoned fugitive MARC RICH. A lawyer close to the case says White has also struck an immunity deal with political donor DENISE RICH, which means that anything the financier's ex-wife says cannot be used against her. White has zipped through most of the witnesses in the case of four Hasidic Jews sentenced for stealing government funds. There's not much there, says another lawyer. Even if there were proof...
...hard not to get excited about an experimental cancer drug that shows real promise fighting chronic myeloid leukemia. The standard treatments for this rare disease--chemotherapy and interferon--are pretty tough on the body. Bone-marrow transplants can lead to a cure, but even patients with a perfectly matched donor face a 20% risk of dying in the first six months after the procedure...
