Director Thandi O. Parris ’02, along with members of the cast, composed the show by modifying portions of For Colored Girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf. The original text, penned by Ntozake Shange in the 1970s, traces the tribulations and triumphs of a black girl’s quest for love, affection, solidarity and affirmation...

After introducing themselves in a “First Impressions” segment, contestants strutted their stuff in the beachwear portion and faced off in a talent show. The three finalists also endured short interviews...

The concert took place at the Somerville Theatre, the same venue where Lord had fallen in love with the music of Shawn Colvin nearly 15 years earlier. Now she was passing the torch...
...with cat-donor eggs that had been emptied of genetic material. This created 82 embryos, which were implanted into seven surrogate mothers. The process yielded only a single fetal clone, and that one died in utero. Researchers then turned to cumulus cells from the ovaries of a female named Rainbow, creating five cloned embryos. These were implanted in Allie, another surrogate, and this time an embryo took hold and grew. The result was cc, born Dec. 22 and announced with a flourish last week by the journal Nature. "It was very exciting to witness," says Lou Hawthorne, Genetic Savings & Clone...

Rainbow and cc have different coloring, for example, since the coats of calicos are determined partly by genes and partly by random molecular changes during development. Temperament too is a toss-up, since it's hard to tease out how much of an animal's personality is genetically scripted and how much is shaped by environment. "The fallacy is that cloning provides a duplicate," says the Humane Society's Pacelle. Concedes Westhusin: "This...
