...quite worked out how to regulate the creation of what are called chimeras, after the mythical creature that was part lion, part serpent, part goat. Canada last year passed a law that made it illegal to grow animal cells in a human embryo, or human cells in an animal embryo. Last spring the National Academy of Sciences was more lenient: it affirmed the potential research value of mixing human and animal cells, but drew the line at seeding any primates with human cells-at least for now-and urged that new experiments at least first be run past an expert...

We found out that, in arranging a questionable junket to London, DeLay staff members were demanding that Abramoff produce Lion King tickets, rooms at the Four Seasons and other lavish accommodations. And?with e-mails obtained by my colleague Adam Zagorin?we showed that Ralph Reed was helping Abramoff gain access at the White House...
