It was carrying the 4:30 meal (corned beef, pork, eggs, cheese, bread and tea) for the prison's inmates, many of them convicted terrorists of the Irish Republican Army. Passing through two security gates, the van pulled up in front of No. 7 H-block of the prison, site of dramatic I.R.A. hunger strikes two years ago. There the routine came to a violent stop. Prisoners armed with smuggled guns and homemade knives had already overpowered their guards; now they...
...some of the I.R.A.'s most notorious terrorists. Among those still at large: Brendan McFarlane, 31 Jailed for life for a bombing attack that killed five civilians in a Belfast bar; Kevin Artt, 24, jailed in August for the 1978 murder of Albert Miles, a deputy governor of Maze Prison; and six others with life sentences for murders.

...pinhead-size lump of tissue that had been taken from the frontal cortex of normal rat embryos. The researchers used fetal cells because they are rich in growth factors and adapt easily to a new environment.

While this is still slower than normal, says Stein, "the transplant was clearly producing some degree of functional recovery." Stein later found that new connections had grown between the transplanted tissue and the rest of the brain...
