...Berg, Melton and their American colleagues, there is a touch of envy blended with the praise. Stem-cell research in Asia--not just in South Korea but in China, Japan and Singapore as well--is rapidly outdistancing the work being done in the U.S., reflecting, in large part, real differences in government policy. South Korea, for example, recently banned the use of cloning techniques for the creation of babies but fully supports Hwang's work--to the tune of $2 million a year. By contrast, researchers in the U.S. who want to study human embryonic stem cells are restricted...

Unlike the old days, when many camps offered eight-week sessions, today kids tend to schedule shorter periods at different camps back-to-back in order to hone a variety of skills...
...apparent that Lucas has totally lost touch with his creative genius. His embrace of special-effects technology over anything else has squashed the soul of the latest Star Wars films. His reliance on limitless digital technology allowed him to create his vision, but he fails to see that limitations inspire creativity. The original three Star Wars films are abundant proof of this. Lucas should realize that none of the special effects in the most recent trilogy look real. The lack of popular respect for these movies is a fitting fate for a failed idea...
