...campaign is more likely to draw attention to the personal thank-you note Cremeans got from Bill Clinton last month for bucking Newt Gingrich and supporting a 90[cents]-an-hour minimum-wage hike. Fellow G.O.P. freshman Phil English, who maligned his 1994 opponent by labeling him a "Clinton clone," got a note too; he was so moved he announced it at a news conference back home in Erie, Pennsylvania. But neither Republican has anything on two-term Representative Peter Blute, who stood at the President's side as he signed a public-housing bill into...
...terrible moments toward the end of Tin Cup it seems possible that Roy McAvoy (Kevin Costner), the driving-range pro from Salome, Texas, may actually win the U.S. Open.

Scientists have extracted genetic material from, among other things, a 17 million-year-old magnolia leaf, a 30 million-year-old termite and a 120 million-year-old weevil. Yet no serious biologist believes it will ever be possible to clone a dinosaur from a few bits of DNA. Even so excellent a preservative as amber apparently can't keep DNA from breaking down into fragments that may be scientifically interesting but are biologically inert. That's one reason many researchers doubt the claims of California scientists who announced last year that...
