...process by which that is achieved is called nuclear transfer. The first step is to remove the nucleus from an egg and replace it with the nucleus of an adult cell (in Dolly's case, a cell from a ewe's udder). The two components are electrically fused and chemically activated to trick the hybrid cell into dividing like an embryo. Not surprisingly, the process doesn't always go right. "I call it a lottery," says Wilmut. "Even if you use the same method as consistently as you can, you may get some clones with severe abnormalities and some that...
...These things are not like eureka moments. It's not like sitting in a bathtub, going yippee and jumping out. It took about a year. A year before Dolly, we made [the cloning process] work using embryo cells. Then we knew we would be able to clone from an udder cell. We didn?t know how soon, but we knew it was possible...
...Zang's home store in Burlington shows that TSC is clearly a sanctuary for the affluent lawn warrior. Horse-racing helmets are displayed near hummingbird feeders, and outdoor paint, in John Deere Green for antique tractor collections, fills the shelves.

In the pet center, an aluminum bin full of chirping baby chickens is adjacent to model plastic horses for the kids. "The 60-year-old farmer...
...Ampliatus, one of Pompeii's plutocrats, which brings him into contact with Ampliatus' sexy daughter and leads him to the mystery of his predecessor's sudden disappearance.

...Stephenville, the Erath County seat, there's a fiberglass statue of a cow named Moola standing by the courthouse; beneath her udder is a sign boasting that the county sells $220 million worth of milk a year. But milk prices are sagging, and some dairy farmers are threatening to move to the Panhandle. A lot of folks wouldn't mind seeing them go. Many of the CAFOs are owned by people from the Netherlands, who came in droves for the cheap land, high milk prices and lack of regulation. One result is growing animosity in the region against the Dutch...
