...feel; melodies and rhythms wash and flow into each other. This, however, is not a current of water but of electricity: the album is propelled by synthesized sounds, electronic drumbeats and artificial noises. Madonna is clearly borrowing heavily from cutting-edge electronica-tinged performers, including Goldie, Bjork and Aphex Twin. William Orbit, Madonna's collaborator on the CD (he co-wrote and co-produced nearly every track) says she might release a second CD featuring the songs that were too experimental to make the album. "It would be like the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead," says Orbit...

...does that mean all the cloning hoopla Dolly set off was for naught? Not quite. What Wilmut is conceding is that Dolly's mom--or should we say her twin sister?--probably had some fetal cells circulating in her bloodstream, and that one of these fetal cells could conceivably have found its way into the laboratory culture from which Dolly sprang. Cloning an embryo from a fetal cell, of course, would not be as big a deal. What made the Dolly experiment so extraordinary was that Wilmut had managed to get the DNA of an adult cell to revert...

Declaring, "This is what I was destined to do," she finished 28th in a field...

...another player in the El Nino drama is a cycle in the tropical Atlantic that involves a flip-flop between twin pools of water--one warm, one cool--that sit on opposite sides of the equator. Depending on the configuration, farmers in northeastern Brazil could either suffer greatly at the hands of El Nino or feel very little...

...videotape, about 10 weeks after the King beating. The body of a 16-year-old black youth named Eric McGinnis was found floating at the mouth of the St. Joseph River where it flows into Lake Michigan. How did Eric die? Accidental drowning? Racial murder? But in the "Twin Cities" on either side of the river--in the overwhelmingly black town of Benton Harbor, Mich., and in the overwhelmingly white community of St. Joseph--people's suspicions tend to be shaped by the folklores and assumptions that emerge from separate experiences, black and white...
