...matter what the species, nature uses virtually the same nails and screws, the same hammers and power tools to put an embryo together." With this knowledge under our belt, it is irresponsible if not morally reprehensible for us to continue exploiting other species for our selfish purposes. Whether we slaughter animals for food, skin them for clothing or goad them into entertaining us at the circus, we can no longer deny our kinship with them. CHRISTINA J. JOHNSON Long Beach, Calif...
...official University recognition. Nothing prevents Paulin from airing his views in whatever venues he can find. This campus has seen many inflammatory and bombastic speakers throughout the years, but they have come to our community at the behest of student groups. Ann Coulter, who at one time advocated the slaughter of Afghani leaders and an installation of a “Christian” govemment, has been able to air her views, but her invitation came from the Harvard Republican Club, not an academic department...

...Last week, police released sketches of three possible suspects and detained one, an Indonesian man with shoulder-length hair, for questioning. And the bomb site is now being cleared in advance of a traditional ritual prescribed to spiritually cleanse the island after a mortal enemy attack. Priests plan to slaughter a deer, a bull, a cow, a goat, a turtle, a pig, a white swan, a red swan and a black dog with a black tongue, and each household on the island will erect bamboo poles laden with fruits, flowers and palm fronds. Rituals may vanquish ghosts, but they aren...
