Whether or not the recoveries prove to be long lasting, University of Rochester Neurobiologist John Sladek and Yale Psychiatrist Eugene Redmond see a braver new world ahead. The two scientists reported reversing the effects of Parkinson's in adult African green monkeys by implanting cells from the substantia nigra of monkey fetuses, and believe that fetal brain grafts offer a better bet for Parkinson's patients. Vanderbilt researchers, using fetal nerve-tissue implants in experiments with rats, also reported progress in reducing chemically induced symptoms of Huntington's disease, a fatal genetic brain disorder. Others expressed hope that once...
...least one respect, the case evoked memories of the famed 1925 "monkey trial" in Dayton, Tenn., where Science Teacher John Scopes was convicted of illegally teaching Darwin's theory of evolution.

And according to Bahamian authorities, American pleasure boats are not required to clear customs upon departure. The sleeping arrangements on Bimini prompted more questions than a TV quiz show. Both Rice and Hart maintained that they slept on separate boats, and that...
...leaders -- and trust them. Yet in the past two decades, that trust has often been betrayed; each time, Americans are disappointed and disillusioned anew. Last week, as a general turned businessman discussed lucrative foreign intrigues and the evening news flashed pictures of a presidential candidate on a yacht called Monkey Business, it was easy to feel duped, hard not to feel cynical...
