Similarly, a commercially valuable animal--a champion bull or a prize hog, for example--could keep producing sperm indefinitely, even after death, using lesser specimens as surrogate spermmakers. Stem cells also give rise to new stem cells, which can then be harvested and frozen in turn. As a result, says Pennsylvania veterinary physiologist Ralph Brinster, a co-author of both studies, "we can make any individual male biologically immortal...
...environmental laws to block plans for new farms. Residents are also seeking to shut plants now in operation. "The smells are horrendous," complains Carla Smalts, an Oklahoma farm wife who has sued to prevent a pig palace from opening near her home. She's also helping to coordinate anti-hog farm movements in five states. In Colorado, where water rights are often a heated issue, Travis, Dobler and an organization called Alliance Conserving Tomorrow used state groundwater laws that restrict new wells to stop Midwest Farms from drilling on the 8,000 acres that it is acquiring for its site...
...town. "The benefits for us will be mind boggling," Hudler says. For his part, Midwest president Houser must meet state regulations limiting the amount of nitrates and other manure products that leach into the soil. Among other things, the company plans to line the 30 lagoons that will contain hog wastes with heavy plastic sheeting designed to prevent the fetid brew from oozing into the aquifer. But Travis is still holding his nose. Says he: "We're not giving up until we can be convinced that there will be minimal impact." As minimal an impact as 450,000 pigs...
...charm, bluster and infinite energy to win love. He was indeed a genius at getting theater people to do what he wanted. Callow admiringly calls Welles "a creative opportunist without peer," fashioning art from the sweat of many and daring to call it all his. A lifelong credit hog, Welles could indeed do it all. His sin was that he wanted people to think he did it all alone...
...authors conclude their scholarly preface with the statement, "Let the objects themselves speak to the intellect, to the senses, to the spirit." That is precisely what they do in this survey of down-home paintings, needlecraft, carvings and sculpture, like Clark Coe's wood-and-metal Man on a Hog. Most ambitious of all are the free-spirited constructions like James Hampton's altar assembled from garage-sale recyclings covered in silver and gold foil...
