...outside investigators. As long as they have tissue samples from both the clone and the parent, they should be able to determine whether DNA in the nuclei of both animals' cells is identical--the first hallmark of a true clone. Ian Wilmut, the Scottish scientist who created Dolly the sheep in 1996, had to provide such samples to prove to skeptics that he had created history's first mammalian clone...

...world--almost all governments, including Britain's, prefer responsible-drinking campaigns premised on the idea that trouble flows from a small minority rather than from a whole culture tolerant of excess. Which means that Natalie, strapping up her silver sandals in the ladies' room at the Black Sheep Bar in Croydon, won't change her habits anytime soon. Binge drinking "is just what we do," she says. "We don't need to get drunk. We just do it because...

...together a cluster of endive, a curved squash and two strips of greens, and what do you have? Why, a duck. How about a cauliflower, a black olive and four stems? A sheep. A pineapple half and chunks of green pepper? A turtle. Those are what you get in Freymann's antic, ingenious sculptures of fruits and vegetables. Some of his creations are scarcely altered.
