...enticements and entrapments have worked: a place on the FBI's ten-most-wanted list and a manhunt stretching as far as Denver have produced nothing. A $1 million reward has found no takers. Until two weeks ago, Rudolph had not been seen since the day after the bombing, when he rented the video Kull the Conqueror, stocked up on raisins, trail mix and batteries and bought $11 worth of burgers and fries from the Burger King in his hometown of Murphy, N.C. The trail had gone stone cold. And then on July 11, George Nordmann, 71, owner...

That pace, if sustained, would put them in reach...
...Creating pigs with transplantable organs could mean big business for the two firms -- at least 50,000 Americans are on the waiting list for a transplant. But there's another, more ominous implication: If the Honolulu technique is able to produce cloned pigs as well as mice, it's more likely to work with humans, too. Put your order...
