...that was in 1996, before the boom. A coldhearted investor could say the Connellys, for all their success, screwed up. Little Gobles is not exactly the white-hot center of the real estate inferno. If they had continued trading up for nine years--buy, fix, sell, buy, fix, sell--there's no telling how much profit they could have made. (Their Chicago house, they say, would now sell for more than $750,000.) And if they had plowed that profit into a second investment property ... and a third...
...this: each of the newly created stem-cell lines is genetically identical to one of Hwang's patients. That means any new tissue derived from that patient's cell line can be injected into that individual without triggering an immune reaction. If researchers can figure out how to fix the original defect, they may someday be able to generate replacement tissue that is custom designed to treat the patient's condition. Or at least that's the dream. No one knows yet whether those stem cells can be safely used in people...

...briefly awakened to my real environment, but in no time the satellite beamed me up again. I was back in the ether with the Gloved One, orbiting America without touching it--until I got to Rawlins, Wyo., where the antenna on my roof blew off. When I couldn't fix the suction cup that held it there, I tuned in to local AM radio. A voice--a low, male, unhurried Western voice--was describing a school lunch menu for the week. "Chicken-fried steak," the voice said, "and green beans." The words were astonishing. Startling...
...these factors seem somewhat arbitrarily chosen, their explications are enlightening. For instance, Friedman explains UPS’s fascinating role, referenced knowingly but indecipherably in the company’s television commercials, in “synchronizing global supply chains,” which requires the shipping company to fix broken computers in the name of Toshiba and fill online shoe orders in Nike’s stead. Friedman’s argument, thus far, is well-taken...
