German officials were quick to point out that the experiment Hall and Stillman conducted -- cloning a human embryo -- would be considered a federal offense in Germany, punishable by up to five years in prison. "The Americans do not even have our scruples," complained Rudolf Dressler, deputy whip of the Social Democratic opposition in the Bundestag. "They simply go ahead with research, cost what it may." More than 25 countries have commissions that set policy on reproductive technology. In Britain, cloning human cells requires a license the governing body refuses to grant.

Interior Minister Rudolf Seiters, a confidant of Chancellor Helmut Kohl's, took responsibility for mishandling the case and resigned in July, closely followed by the chief federal prosecutor, Alexander von Stahl. The head of the antiterrorism division, Rainer Hoffmeyer, has been sharply criticized and may be forced to resign.

...WENT DOWN DEFIANTLY, ALL guns firing. Until the very end of his long struggle with AIDS, Rudolf Nureyev continued to live ravenously, leading an amazingly active life, conducting when he could no longer dance, continuing to travel the world, transforming his beloved private island off Italy's Amalfi coast as if he would be able to live there for decades. Above all, working. When he died last week at 54, the world of the performing arts mourned him as not only a great dancer but also a rare source of energy in artistic life...
