Those opportunities came quickly, when Gay and her husband found work. She became a nurse at Somerville's Heritage Hospital and he a machinist at a Cambridge company...
...Dell, a machinist with an ugly rap sheet, was arrested and charged with rape and capital murder. He had been seen at the County Line the evening Schartner was killed, though not with her. Later he'd walked into a convenience store with blood on his face, hands and clothes--the result, he said, of a fight at another bar. There were no witnesses to the killing.

...grow your own" organs is already upon us, as researchers have sidestepped the stem-cell controversy by making clever use of ordinary cells.

A teenager born without half of his chest wall is growing a new cage of bone and cartilage within his chest cavity. Scientists announced last month that bladders, grown from bladder cells in a lab, have been implanted in dogs and are working. Meanwhile, patches of skin, the first "tissue-engineered" organ...

"Coral's got lots of interconnected channels for the bone cells to grow in," says Vacanti. It also degrades as bone replaces it. The patch...
