...cloned sheep were born with incomplete body walls, with muscles and skin around their abdomen that failed to properly join. Other scientists have reported abnormalities in kidney and brain function. In still other clones, the heart does not develop normally, and the walls that are supposed to separate fresh blood from deoxygenated blood do not form...
...riders who climb, sprint and sweat their way along the three-week, 2,270-mile journey across the Alps and countryside. It's also a prodigious test for cycling's future. After seven straight victories, Lance Armstrong is no longer competing. Yet his legacy of success--coupled with fresh allegations of his wrongdoing--is casting a shadow over the start of this year's already chaotic race...
Besides Armstrong's legacy, Tour organizers are coping with a fresh drug scandal. A Spanish doping investigation resulted in three prerace favorites--Italy's Ivan Basso, Germany's Jan Ullrich and Spain's Francisco Mancebo, who finished second, third and fourth, respectively, behind Armstrong in the 2005 Tour--being forced out of the race the day before its start.

"I've been driving [trains] over that section for 19 years," Trigo, the union member, told TIME, "and nothing like this had ever happened before." The regional government says, and the unions acknowledge, that...
