...more black districts. In the end, 51 rebels checked into a Holiday Inn, where they were booked two to a room. Monday morning they went to the Denny's attached to the hotel to work on strategy while fortifying themselves with Moons over My Hammy (ham, cheese and scrambled-egg sandwiches). At 3 a.m., the Democrats were awakened and brought down to the Holiday Inn basement, where they camped out with the media because of tornado warnings...
...strongly support Hume’s greatness on the ground that the force of his personality definitely affected the age in which he lived. It is not a question of the cart before the horse in either case, merely a problem of which came first, the chicken or the egg. In any case, there is much to be said on both sides...
...debate about the use of embryonic stem cells to grow replacement tissue (brain, liver, etc.) is about to get much more complex now that scientists have turned stem cells from mouse embryos into viable eggs. The report in Science set researchers' imaginations ablaze. Could this technique provide an endless supply of human eggs? And since scientists turned cells from both female and male mice into eggs, could it overturn traditional notions of parenthood? Could males make egg cells? Could gay couples produce genetic offspring? So far, the research holds promise only for gay mice...
...revivals seem worth the effort. It was probably too soon to bring back A Day in the Death of Joe Egg, Peter Nichols' 1967 play about a couple with a severely retarded child (it had a perfectly good revival in 1985 starring Stockard Channing and Jim Dale), but its brutally unsentimental treatment of a touchy subject, the experiments in narrative and a galvanizing performance by comedian Eddie Izzard give it the immediacy of a spring thunderstorm.

When Naughton, 47, cracked her nest egg for the initial $19,900 investment, her husband thought she was nuts, she says. She has already made half the money back (and dropped from a size 18 to a 12). "I never pictured myself in this profession," says Naughton, a former Teamster driver on the TransAlaska pipeline. What got her interested, she says, is that Curves customers seemed to be having fun--a word not often associated with lifting weights...
