...week had begun with life in the Baltic port of Gdansk getting back to normal. Before dawn, city trams and buses began their rounds through the chilly, rainswept streets. Workers filed through factory gates. Dockers started to unload the dozens of ships stacked up in the harbor.

Last week a team of Yale University scientists announced they had altered an animal's hereditary makeup at a more basic level: by injecting foreign genes into a mouse at its earliest stage of development, a fertilized...

But unlike Tonight, which is substantially different in hard news content from the morning edition, the Post remains virtually the same all day long, although the editors may change headlines as many as six times throughout the day to perk up sales.
