...Bloodstained Gems At the heart of the failed revolution lie the confiscated resources of Burma [Oct. 22]. The military regime will not step down as long as there are still rubies in the mines. The mines and the roads that lead to them are worked by Burmese people who were abducted and enslaved. There should be an international ban not only on arms sales to that illegal regime but also on purchases of jewels from its mines. Burmese monks protested knowing that death, torture or some of the worst prisons in the world await them. This is a very serious...
...weekend. Monthly magazines do Halloween in the September issue, so Christmas can hit in October. This year the weather even conspired to confuse and collapse the calendar--outdoor pools open in Washington in January, leaves defiantly green and aloft in the Northeast through October, when they're supposed to lie curled and dead and sweet-smelling beneath the feet of the little witches and ghouls.

Things in Dr. Anthony Atala's lab at Wake Forest University are not always what they seem. On one lab bench, surrounded by gutted printer cartridges, lie the inner workings of an inkjet printer. But this isn't the scene of some document-printing job gone awry. Instead, the printer has been jury-rigged to handle something much more extraordinary than ink - it now sprays tiny living cells into the three-dimensional forms of human organs...
...that's not all. Behind ordinary-looking incubator doors lie some of the most remarkable feats of modern science - pulsing blood vessels, beating heart valves, and delicate, swollen human bladders. For nearly two decades, Atala has been perfecting the science of regenerating human tissues - essentially, the science of building new body parts. "The concept is to use the body's own cells to make new tissues and organs for patients who need them," he says. "We have had so many advances in various fields of science - cell biology, materials science, and stem cell biology - and all of them are coming...
