...help pet owners. Cloning Snuppy (the name comes from "Seoul National University puppy") took nearly three years and cost millions of dollars. Hwang's ultimate motive, he says, is to create a research model for making stem cells that could cure disease in people. "Compared with rodents," he says, dog cells "are more similar to human stem cells." GS&C still wants to capture the Fido-cloning market, though, and company scientists are trying to reduce the inefficiencies. Even if they manage to clone a dog, says Ben Carlson, a company spokesman, it won't be cheap. "We're charging...
...never known it is the best strategy for making Americans safer. Rice has never been patient: as an aide to Brent Scowcroft in the first Bush Administration, she chafed at Scowcroft's cautious steps to encourage democratization in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.

Cincinnati and Cleveland, Ohio; Minneapolis, Minn.; Philadelphia; Memphis, Tenn.; and Baltimore, Md., are in various stages of reconfiguring their schools away from the middle school model and toward K-8s. Some suburban districts, including the wealthy Capistrano School District in Orange County, Calif., are also making the switch...
...Gore insists that Current TV has, if anything, become more open. "Our vision was then, and is now, to go from the old studio-based production model that is still used by everybody else out there, where a small group of people in a television studio makes the programming that everybody else watches, and go to a democratized medium where everybody has a chance to learn how to make television," he says. The network will even teach people how, with free online media training by veteran journalists, educators from journalism and film schools, and celebrities...
