Wilmut cloned "Dolly," a Finn Dorset lamb named after Dolly Parton, in 1996. The original cell was taken from a mammary gland...
They're getting up to a collective century of professional singing, and they exemplify three angles of redefining country: through folk, L.A. rock or Nashville pop. Yet Harris, Ronstadt and Parton harmonize like a true trio in 10 rapturous airs spanning six decades. They could've been swapping these parts since girlhood. And the voices! Still pure--purer than on their solo CDs. On Neil Young's apocalyptic After the Gold Rush or Donagh Long's ultimate love song, You'll Never Be the Sun, they sound like the perfect down-home choir. Thanks, trio, for an angelic encounter...
...Which could mean that Dolly, who was named after country star Dolly Parton for the mammary glands she was supposedly extracted from, is a living lie. If this is the case -- and tests are being conducted as we speak -- she will lose her status as world's first cloned mammal to a pair of monkeys in Oregon. Poor lamb...
...DOLLY PARTON's brand of music doesn't normally conjure up images of a crowded club full of sweaty bodies gyrating until dawn. But that may change now that the singer who makes Antoni Gaudi's buildings look tame has had a few cuts off her latest album, Treasures, remixed as dance tunes. The deed was done by Junior Vasquez, a New York City nightclub fixture and producer, who says the first cut, Peace Train, is already a big hit at Arena, the club where he's a deejay.

...researchers at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland, had indeed pulled off what many experts thought might be a scientific impossibility. From a cell in an adult ewe's mammary gland, embryologist Ian Wilmut and his colleagues managed to create a frisky lamb named Dolly (with apologies to Ms. Parton), scoring an advance in reproductive technology as unsettling as it was startling. Unlike offspring produced in the usual fashion, Dolly does not merely take after her biological mother. She is a carbon copy, a laboratory counterfeit so exact that she is in essence her mother's identical twin...
