...squander a more than 20-point poll lead over McBride, who has never held elected office? Despite Reno's celebrity and hold over liberal South Florida, Democratic donors wrote her off, convinced she would never capture enough of the conservative north. Her feckless campaign, whose only highlight was an oft-satirized Miami Beach dance party, prompted even the state's liberal teachers' union, the Florida Education Association, to endorse McBride. "Reno just didn't convey a specific message on the issues that matter this year," says the FEA's president, Maureen Dinnen. McBride's profile also got an unintended lift...
...putting all the politically charged questions of poverty and pollution on the agenda of a two-week talk-shop, the Summit inevitably did more to highlight global schisms than to resolve them. There was the traditional "North-South" divide between rich nations and poor nations; the Kyoto signatories (Europeans and the developing world) against the Kyoto skeptics (the Americans and a handful of oil-dependent and -producing nations); and the U.S. vs. the Rest of the World (a schism exacerbated by the Bush administration's unapologetic unilateralism on environmental and other global affairs, underscored by the President's absence from...
...overwhelming majority of the 650,000 soft-tissue transplants each year go smoothly, but the problems at CryoLife highlight concerns about quality control throughout the tissue-bank industry.

One of them is the family of Brian Lykins, 23, who died three days after what should have been routine...
...Julia's family before she moved to the U.S., the other of teenage Andy, both hand-colored by Julia in a style that resembles Warhol's technique, Bycko says. In another exhibit, a greeting card with a picture of the Last Supper, Julia used long parallel stitches to highlight the robes of Jesus and some of the Apostles. A pen-and-ink drawing of a messenger angel she drew on a Christmas card has been reproduced by the museum as a chandelier...
...roads, housing, electricity, employment. The exhibition's section on The Sims, the virtual dollhouse bought by more women than men, shows original designs for characters and decor, as well as artwork by painter Ocean Quigley, who has worked on the series. One of the exhibition's objectives is to highlight the role of the artists behind the games. Commentators don't often talk about the aesthetics, says Bodman, preferring to concentrate on sales. Another aim is to raise questions about the morality of violence in games like Mortal Kombat, and the relationship between such content and real...
