Office architects are envisioning improved cubicles-- newbicles?--that feel private yet collegial, personal yet interchangeable, smaller yet somehow more spacious. Employing advanced materials, tomorrow's technology and the fruits of sociological research, designers are fitting the future workplace to workers who are increasingly mobile and global. Meanwhile, bosses are demanding rent-saving, productivity- boosting solutions to convince us that cubicles are cool. It might even work...
...sperm. The key challenge is to undo the development of an adult cell--which, like all cells, contains in its DNA the genetic blueprint of the entire organism--that has been programmed or "differentiated" to be one kind of cell (skin or bone or nerve) and no other kind. Somehow, scientists must trick this mature, fully developed cell into resetting its genetic clock so that it can begin life anew as an embryo...

And, if they could do that, who knew how long the Confederacy might be able to fight on? Perhaps long...
...those generations, and we have him to thank not only for the 150 national forests he created, the 51 national wildlife refuges, the five national parks, but also for the very idea that air, water, forests and animal life were somehow in our collective safekeeping. If he were alive today, he would be deeply interested in such matters as global warming and the preservation of species...
