Research would proceed but only in the handful of labs willing to fund it on their own. These labs are subject to minimal oversight. They rarely consult with one another, research doesn't get peer-reviewed, and studies may be unknowingly (and unnecessarily) duplicated. Many of the nation's top scientists who would otherwise lead the research effort would remain on the sidelines. And commercial pressures could make private labs focus more on research that might turn a profit than on studies that advance general knowledge. Says James Thomson, the stem-cell pioneer: "Industry and other countries will go forward...
...Matt Rees: After this week, the cease-fire (which had been pretty much nothing more than a notion) is really off the agenda.

Mason's baritone is only slightly brighter than Ringo Starr's, and his delivery is just as lackadaisical. His voice is merely the cool whipped cream atop the shimmering Jell...
...this Clinton-era holdover. But that will be harder to do now that a Republican-majority court has attested that Microsoft broke the law. And even if the Bush Administration does cave, that won't end the case. Nineteen state attorneys general are part of the lawsuit, which would proceed as long as they continued to press their claims...
