...cause of certain health problems. Tobacco companies say the law, the only one of its kind in the nation, violates the constitutional right of due process by giving the state rights an ordinary plaintiff would not have. Florida Governor Lawton Chiles said the Supreme Court's decision keeps intact a law which will help lead to justice in tobacco related cases. "I think this is the last constitutional hurdle that big tobacco is going to try to put in our way. So I think we're getting closer to the day of tobacco justice." Because the court declined to hear...
...this point, Wilmut and his colleagues switched to a mainstream cloning technique known as nuclear transfer. First they removed the nucleus of an unfertilized egg, or oocyte, while leaving the surrounding cytoplasm intact. Then they placed the egg next to the nucleus of a quiescent donor cell and applied gentle pulses of electricity. These pulses prompted the egg to accept the new nucleus--and all the DNA it contained--as though it were its own. They also triggered a burst of biochemical activity, jump-starting the process of cell division. A week later, the embryo that had already started growing...

And no matter how the current story evolves, those reruns will be difficult to watch, those comforting memories tainted if not spoiled. When Ricky Nelson, America's TV son, died in a mysterious plane crash, rumors swirled that the child...
...creepy Colonial house on the corner, but these days you have no guarantee he will stay there. This centralization can increase the risk of administrative errors like the one that occurred recently in Arizona when an SCI cluster facility mistakenly cremated a body that was supposed to be shipped intact to Utah. A spokesman for SCI, however, says such an error is no more likely to occur in a cluster than in any other operation. "We run very strict procedures for the identification and tracking of bodies," he says. "Even at that, we're not infallible...
