Anissa Ayala, the leukemia-stricken girl whose parents conceived another child in the hope of providing her with a blood-marrow donor, was a hot subject too. What was the news? Among other things, her family's reaction to the NBC movie For the Love of My Child: The Anissa Ayala Story. "I really enjoyed it," Anissa's mother told reporter Kelly Lange. "I cried through the whole movie...
...debate are the tiny four- and eight-cell spheres that represent human life at a very early stage -- three days after fertilization. Scientists have long known from animal studies that cells in these pre-embryos are totipotent (that is, capable of taking any subsequent form, from skin to bone marrow) and more or less expendable. A 16-cell bovine embryo can be divided into four equal groups of four cells each, cultured for a few more days, and then redivided to yield 16 identical cell clusters, each of which will grow into a genetically interchangeable...
...streets or anything else can explain it away. This is not Ella Fitzgerald telling a story in song.

Tracy Marrow (Ice-T) himself has said, "I scared the police, and they need to be scared." That seems clear...
...supposed to produce corporate "synergy": the whole was supposed to be more than the sum of the parts. The Cop Killer controversy is an example of negative synergy. People get mad at Cop Killer and start boycotting the movie Batman Returns.

Senior Time Warner executives find themselves under attack for -- and defending -- products of their company they neither honestly care for nor really understand, and doubtless weren't even aware...
...part of the "confrontation of ideas" -- or even as an authentic anguished cry of rage from the ghetto. Cop Killer is a cynical commercial concoction, designed to titillate its audience with imagery of violence. It merely exploits the authentic anguish of the inner city for further titillation. Tracy Marrow is in business for a buck, just like Time Warner. Cop Killer is an excellent joke on the white establishment, of which the company's anguished apologia ("Why can't we hear what rap is trying to tell us?") is the punch line...
