Between these two emotionally charged armies, Bush was scrambling to find the makings of a truce. Could he maybe keep the ban but allow research to continue on the cell lines that scientists have already developed? No way, say the pro-lifers. A priest writing in last Wednesday's Wall Street Journal called that "material cooperation with evil." The research forces, for their part, argue that there aren't enough cell lines yet to do any meaningful research...
...cooling-off period. The two sides would then implement measures agreed with U.S. mediators, including a freeze on Jewish settlements and the arrest of Islamic militants.

Failure...

To be sure, if the current cease-fire were to pass both its seven-day and six-week authenticity tests, Sharon would face something of a political crisis. Besides the fact that the "confidence building" mechanisms of the current truce include a freeze on Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank and Gaza, which Sharon and his supporters reject, the cease-fire is supposed to result in a revival of the political negotiations eclipsed by the ten-month intifada. But the political talks broke down at Camp David when Yasser...
