...estimated $2.2 million spent in the Religious Right's noble crusade, $500,000 came from James Dobson's Focus on the Family. In an ironic twist, the Mormons have become defenders of the "traditional family unit"; $600,000 of the $2.2 million came from the Church of Latter-Day Saints. The Christian Coalition distributed 200,000 voter guides about it the Sunday before the election...
There is a wild card in the Internet deck too: wireless services. Hughes Network Systems sells DirecPC and DirecDuo dishes (the latter with both Web and TV reception) that can download Web pages at a relatively brisk 200,000 to 400,000 BPS. Last month Loral's CyberStar unit joined the fray with a satellite system of its own. Both are more expensive than cable and DSL (monthly fees can run more than $100 for unlimited use), but satellite dishes can be used almost anywhere, including vacation cabins and other rural locations. Several companies are also experimenting with a ground...
...such applications are years away at best. At this point, it is not clear whether the isolated stem cells can produce literally any tissue in the body or can make only the few types already seen in the lab. And if it is the latter, why? If the experiment had been done in mice, the next step would have been to test the stem cells' versatility by trying to grow an entire mouse. Such an experiment would clearly have been unethical with human cells...
Woody Allen's Celebrity tracks the former's possibly predictable fall and the latter's entirely unexpected rise within the tensely striving world of Manhattan's media and cultural demimonde.

Since his previous album came out in 1994, Seal has gone through two difficult breakups--one with supermodel Tyra Banks and another with a woman he won't name--and the experiences provided emotional fuel for his new CD. The latter relationship was a particularly tumultuous one. "My life and work were being destroyed by this one person," says Seal. "She was jealous beyond conception. I tried to meet that with love until I got to the point where I was up against the wall." Lovers' quarrels are the opposite of high school debates; it is only afterward that both...
