...cannot keep [Feb. 16]. The deficit has exploded on his watch. His tax cuts have not generated new jobs to replace the millions lost in the past three years. But Bush has called for no sacrifices on the part of Americans. He wants us to go to the moon and then Mars, without new taxes. That rubs the public the wrong way, as many essential services are being cut while the federal budget deficit balloons. The Administration's neocon advisers, who dominate domestic and foreign policy, want to build an American empire without asking citizens to support it with more...
...This is like the Wright Brothers, who conducted their first flight in 1903. With their knowledge of flight, could they fly across the ocean? No, but Lindbergh could. And who would have thought Armstrong would be flying to and walking on the moon 66 years later? Cancer will be easier to treat with developments like this,” Folkman said...
...Shrum campaign occasionally offers Kennedy-esque imagery (Kerry’s “we need to go to the moon here on Earth”), often involves unsubtle negativity (Gore’s 2000 ads featuring pollution almost emanating from Bush’s head), but always—always—delivers some variant of the “fighter” message. Call it repetitive, brilliant, leftist or anything else—but realize that Shrum’s narrative has never won a presidential election. This is not to say that populism is a mistake; Shrum...
That could ultimately prove to be an even bigger deal. Embryonic stem cells are the unspecialized raw material that give rise to every cell type in the body--in fact, some of Moon and Hwang's stem cells evidently turned into bone, muscle and immature brain cells. If scientists can learn to control their development, stem cells could in theory supply replacement tissues to treat any ailment involving cell damage--and there are plenty, including heart disease, diabetes, spinal-cord injury, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. "Our goal," said Hwang during a press conference at a meeting of the American...
...Korean team believes that two other factors may have helped them succeed. While most cloners suck out an egg's nucleus with a tiny pipette, Moon and Hwang made a pinhole in the cell wall and used a tiny glass needle to apply pressure and squeeze the nucleus out. "It's more gentle with the egg and allows you to remove only the DNA and leave some of the major components of the egg still inside," says Jose Cibelli, a professor of animal biotechnology at Michigan State University and a co-author of the Science paper. "Actually, it's pure...
