...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.

That was typical of their relationship, with Cammell remaining, in Thomson's word, Brando's supplicant, alternately embraced and dismissed by the star as Brando's career faded into lazy inconsequence in the early '80s. In his private domain, however, the actor was an absolute monarch: "a small mind in hideous contrast with the overlarge body," as Thomson characterizes him in his New Biographical Dictionary of Film. The pair accepted an advance for the novel from a British publisher in 1982, but Brando eventually...
