...typical example. Journalists who met him in his early days thought little of his triumphalist talk or his childish nom de guerre "Snake." And though the guerrillas' military performance in the war was weak, the K.L.A. has been a bastion of Albanian pride. Cast with a patriotic glow, Thaci has quickly become a serious political player...
...even bigger problem: the initial glow of her candidacy has already worn off, and not just because New Yorkers are so easily bored. Those pushing her to run lost sight of the transient reason she had become the most admired woman in the country. It's not the wonders of makeup or the right hairdo or giving up the institutional power of being health-care czar and posing for the cover of Vogue. The reason she finally got to that 60% in the polls--to that Sally Field "you like me, you really like me" moment--was that...
...children at a northern airport where they're heading, and they don't say Orlando; they say, with an almost desperate glow, "Disney." Walt and his successors turned Central Florida swampland into the country's top resort destination and, for decades, have virtually monopolized it.

They are edgy charmers, and you have to wonder if the happy ending that concludes the picture will be permitted to last. But you can't help hoping--gratefully...
...these lab mice were not bred for the benefit of cats that have trouble seeing in the dark. They do glow, however, thanks to a gene that usually codes for green fluorescence in jellyfish but was knit into the animals' usual complement of mousy DNA by scientists at the University of Hawaii. The experiment was reported in Science and demonstrates an improved method of gene transfer--called Honolulu transgenesis--that uses sperm as a vehicle to move DNA from one species to another...
