...cord was crushed in a fall from a horse in 1995, and who, along with former Senator Bob Dole and others, is scheduled to testify. "This research should go forward as fast as possible," Reeve says (see his accompanying Viewpoint). To that end, Senators Specter, a Republican, and Tom Harkin of Iowa, a Democrat, have introduced a bill to lift the ban. Just how far they'll get in an election year is anyone's guess...
