...rare commentator who avoided any mention of Aldous Huxley. Some warned of baby farms and assembly lines of fetuses grown in test tubes, of rich women renting poor women's wombs to avoid the inconvenience of pregnancy. But fear was no match for dreams for thousands of infertile couples: "I would hope that within a very few years ... this will be a fairly commonplace affair," said Robert Edwards, one of the doctors. Louise is now 24, and 1 million babies later, that prophecy has come true. --By Nancy Gibbs
...Saddam Hussein and his two sons 48 hours to leave Iraq last week, Uday, the firstborn, delivered the family's riposte. Iraqi forces, he warned, would make the mothers of U.S. soldiers "weep blood instead of tears." The tall, bearded Uday, 39, has long been a braggart--not to mention a libertine and a brute.

...Saddam made no mention of his sons Qusay and Uday, who play leading roles in commanding Iraqi regular and paramilitary units, respectively, and who U.S. officials have suggested may also have been hit in the March 20 strike. He also did not talk about the battle with U.S. forces Sunday in the southern city of Nasiriyeh, nor of the U.S. soldiers killed and taken prisoner there. The omission seemed to be an indication that the speech may have been pre-recorded sometime on Sunday before the news from Nasiriyeh had become clear...
