...ideas, gadgets and gifts has become another eagerly anticipated feature, like your annual Person of the Year. Thanks for keeping Time a leader. Jim Tracy Denver, Colorado, U.S. I was a bit unnerved by your referring to Snuppy as an invention. The cloning technique is remarkable, without a doubt, but it is wrong to classify a cloned creature as an invention.

It is true that the Immigration Restriction Act was passed early...
Harvard turned the ball over 13 times in the second half, but nine of those came during a five-minute span directly out of the intermission and the final three minutes of the game, when the result was no longer in doubt. The Crimson shot 14-for-21 (67 percent) from the field during the final 20 minutes to make up for the turnovers...
