...months since Snuppy's debut in the journal Nature, Hwang's saga has been rewritten--as a Greek tragedy. One by one, he has faced an escalating series of charges: first, that some women had been paid for the eggs they provided for his research, and that eggs also came from his employees, both ethical violations in the rigorous world of high-level research. Then came the allegation that some of the photos of cells he published did not show what he claimed. And finally, as he was forced to admit two weeks ago, before submitting his resignation to Seoul...
...Jenkins Saga TIME excerpted the autobiography of Charles Robert Jenkins, the U.S. Army sergeant who deserted while serving in South Korea and spent 40 years in North Korea until the Japanese government negotiated his departure in 2004 [Oct. 24]. I am a U.S. citizen living in Japan, and I don't understand why Jenkins' detractors, presumably patriotic Americans, who wrote letters to TIME [Nov. 21] would second-guess the U.S. Army's decision to allow Jenkins to live as a free man in Japan. Jenkins left North Korea believing that he would spend the rest of his life...
...debacle that had begun 23 hours earlier, when Palestinian terrorists from the Black September organization burst into the dorm housing the Israeli delegation at the 1972 Olympics and took 11 of its members hostage. It was also the start of a much longer, more complicated chapter in the saga: Israel's methodical extraction of revenge. About the events in Munich on Sept. 5, 1972, there is considerable clarity.

...most scaredy-cat kid in the whole world and scare the tuna salad out of him!" That leads him to Sam. After Leonardo performs a full repertoire of growls, glares and gesticulations, Sam bawls. Not because of Leonardo, alas, but because of a monumental toddler's hard-luck saga that he tells the monster: "... and I got so mad I kicked the table and I stubbed my toe on the same foot that I hurt last month when I accidentally slipped in the bathtub after I got soap in my eyes trying to wash out the bird poo that...
...gays-in-the-priesthood saga was not the first troublesome episode of poorly managed information flows from the Curia since Benedict took over. Most notably, a leaked version of the Vatican's reaction to the July 7 terror attacks in London erroneously included the Pope using the highly charged phrase "anti-Christian" to describe the bombing. Several sources have traced the incorrect draft to Secretary of State Angelo Sodano's office. Navarro-Valls, who reportedly is at odds with Sodano, is still running the press office, but is less and less visible. Meanwhile, Benedict himself doesn't seem particularly preoccupied...
