...Honorable people will draw the line in different places because this is not an issue of reason vs. ignorance, as the Democrats have portrayed it, but of recognizing two important competing human values: the thirst for knowledge and cures on the one hand and, on the other, the respect for even embryonic human life and a well-grounded respect for the proven human capacity to misuse newly acquired powers, in this case, the power to manipulate, reshape, dissect and redesign the developing human embryo...
...series of premium, high-volume cars and a new emphasis on design. And the car is fueling a dramatic turnaround at the automaker. On the basis of strong sales of the 300, Chrysler reported last month that it swung to a $628 million operating profit in its second quarter, vs. a $1.2 billion loss a year earlier.

This didn’t seem to stop them from coming up with a solid highlight for each team, which is all the more impressive considering that the only Cornell game that YES carried was the Big Red?...

But come September 13, not even the overstocked lineup of the “Never Say Di” squad will be able to bar these manly-man arms from the diamond. On that day, my biceps, and less lethal assault weapons like the AK-47 and TEC-DC9 are set to be legally manufactured and sold...
