...other words, the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs. nurture. It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and endangered canids like the Ethiopian wolf and African wild dog. At the A&M labs, a picture of Missy's cheerful mug hangs over the micromanipulator, where technicians inject her genetic code into eggs from donors whose own DNA is of no particular interest to anyone. The biggest problem is getting eggs. Because dogs randomly go into heat only every six months to a year, there's a lot of waiting...
...remember a photograph from one of Clinton's first visits to the Oval Office after his first election. He was wearing a short-sleeved sport shirt and was sprawling at his desk. He was drinking a large mug of root beer, and he had his large white thumb projecting through the handle around the tankard.

In fact, the only time since its initial unveiling in 1911 that the painting hasn't been enthusiastically received...
With NBC's ratings less than stellar and Dennis Miller already ensconced in the booth at Monday Night Football, it cannot be too long until a network in the U.S. lets loose one of its wags on the Games. The smug mug of Craig Kilborn from CBS's Late Late Show seems to just beg to be dispatched to make light of the kayaking and women's discus in Athens. On the other hand, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart seems more of an archery...
