Harvard students, nurtured in a womb that breeds future consulting superstars, are born ready to think out of the box. For the bold and brave, the quest for love, romance and booty sometimes takes them beyond the realm of Harvard. These students look to the larger world (Harvard Square) where countless untapped resources (employees in Harvard Square) seem to be there for the tapping. But this is a more challenging mission than those suiting up generally anticipate...

Kauffman smiled at his fellow grille master, and nodded in agreement. “This place is like my womb,” he added. If the grille is comfortable for these guys now, the bonding experience of working naked might make it even more so. Guilianelli admitted that “their butts touched” a couple times thoughout the evening, as the grille is “rather close quarters.” However, after recieving several “oohs” and “aahs” from female residents, these two single dreamboats...

There were 50 clauses providing for every contingency," including the case of a multiple pregnancy, a real possibility given that three donor eggs fertilized by Wheeler's sperm were implanted in Beasley's womb. The contract required Beasley to honor the couple's decision about whether to have a selective reduction, the termination of one or more fetuses in a multiple pregnancy.

...beckoned the gifted Oak Park, Ill., teenager. Encouraged by Fred Meins, one of his professors at the University of Illinois, to try his hand at lab work, Thomson became intrigued by the mysteries of early development--the burst of biological activity when the fertilized egg implants itself in the womb, then starts dividing and forming the specialized cells that turn miraculously into various tissues in the body. Most researchers studying these events used mice, but Thomson, after earning a Ph.D. in molecular biology at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as a veterinary-medicine degree, turned to more humanlike rhesus...
