...political is that each side is using the embryos to score points. The left seems to be taking great pleasure in pointing out what they see as philosophical inconsistencies of those on the right who have taken an independent approach to the issue of stem cells. Senator Orrin Hatch, a staunch right-to-lifer, makes a distinction between an embryo in a petri dish and one inside a woman's womb. So does Connie Mack, another committed right-to lifer. They both suggest that embryos outside a woman's uterus are not potential life and can be used for research...

High-profile activists, including actor Michael J. Fox, who suffers from Parkinson?s disease, have appeared before congressional subcommittees urging that research continue. (Stem cell research, of course, will continue on some level no matter what the President decides...

More and more Japanese kids are hanging out in the streets, parks and clubs in search of a psychedelic, '60s-style encounter that will enable them to forget the bad news, bad economy and bad grades in a swirl of peyote and paisley. For some, the escape hatch is in hallucinogenic drugs?like magic mushrooms, which are legal due to a loophole that permits their sale as long as they are not specifically designated for consumption. (Peyote containing mescaline can also be sold through this same circumvention.) Others are getting their kicks through the increasingly wacky, wigged...
...When he chaired the panel, Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch tried to speed up hearings for Bush judicial nominees so Democrats wouldn't have time to collect damaging information on them and mount a counter-offensive. Leahy, who now controls the schedule, will slow it down so Democratic staffers can stockpile more ammunition on conservative nominees before their hearings. Some of Bush's picks who may be targeted...
