...bill by a margin large enough to override an expected veto from Governor Mitt Romney, who promptly sent the bill back to lawmakers with four proposed amendments to weaken it. Zon says the bill, if enacted, would make Massachusetts more "stem cell friendly" than most states. California is the friendliest.

...relentless pace of blockbuster deals is raising profound and disturbing questions. While economists generally praise mergers as good for the economy, many critics voice strong doubts.

The catch: Elizabeth has to "direct" the scene, which she does with a gentle...
Tucked away in a maze of bars by the MIT campus, this converted warehouse features the friendliest billiards in town.

Start off with the down-home pulled pork sandwich ($7.95; on wax paper that says, “DELICIOUS”), then end with the Volcano Cake ($4.95). With the chocolate dessert, Flat Top Johnny’s serves a pile of whipped cream with a maraschino cherry—and while too rich for one, it’s the perfect size...
