...took place. They were immediately passed by an Uno whose driver, described as a brown-haired "European type" in his 40s, behaved "abnormally." He zig-zagged, kept turning around to look behind him and at one point hit the brakes and pulled over to the right, apparently trying to park.

Thomas Cross, Seed's pastor at the First United Methodist Church in Oak Park, believes his interest in cloning is an extension of his Christian charity.
