...wants an immediate cease-fire endorsed by Hizballah before such a force is deployed. The military confrontation has reached an impasse, say French officials. And that position is likely to be supported by most contributors. France is also showing a willingness to reach out to Iran in the search for a solution. French foreign minister Phillipe Doust-Blazy, speaking on Monday in Beirut after meeting Lebanese government leaders, described Iran as a respected power "which plays a stabilizing role in the region," and signaled a willingness to talk to Tehran about resolving the crisis...
...same time, Harvard has opened another battleground in the search for cells. After exhaustive ethical review, its researchers announced this summer that they would develop new cell lines through somatic cell nuclear transfer, or therapeutic cloning. In this process, a cell from a patient with diabetes, for instance, is inserted into an unfertilized egg whose nucleus has been removed; then it is prodded into growing in a petri dish for a few days until its stem cells can be harvested. Unlike fertility-clinic embryos, these cells would match the patient's DNA, so the body would be less likely...

Our times might have faster rivers, but Heraclitus will forever be the same: to recognize us in the future, we only need to remember (or re-write) precisely how we looked like in the past...
...fire, then those who would constitute it - along with Hizballah and its backers - would likely have a substantial say in determining the nature of the truce it would enforce. Indeed, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, speaking in Rome, urged the inclusion of both Iran and Syria in the search for a deal to permanently end hostilities across the Israel-Lebanon border...
