...research side already had strong emotional appeals from former Republican Senator Connie Mack, a cancer survivor, as well as G.O.P. Senators Gordon Smith and Strom Thurmond, who have relatives with diseases they believe might be cured if stem-cell research goes forward. Raising the emotional stakes, Smith went on CNN last week and challenged opponents of stem-cell research. "I ask them to go with me to the hospital and visit some of my relatives who are dying of Parkinson's and withhold that care and hope." All three men have long records opposing abortion.

Senator Orrin Hatch, a staunch right-to-lifer, makes a distinction between an embryo in a petri dish and one inside a woman's womb. So does Connie Mack, another committed right-to lifer.

...Most listeners, though, didn't know that the countrified "The Three Bells" ("Les trois cloches" by Jean Villard) or the Paul Anka "All of a Sudden My Heart Sings" (by Jean-Marie Blanvillain and Laurent Henri Herpin) or "Mack the Knife" (which had five versions in the Top 20 from 1956 to 1959, including Bobby Darin's #1) had come to Tin Pan Alley through Ellis Island.
