Soon after, individual cells begin an extraordinary trek across this globe of living matter. Some dive deep into the core, where < they give rise to the intestinal tract. Others bunch along the surface, forming a hollow tube -- one end of which buds into...

Nor would researchers be allowed to make copies of adults by taking genetic information from, say, a skin cell and placing it in a fertilized egg stripped of its own DNA. But cloning like that performed by the George Washington doctors would be allowed. Because the eggs they used had been fertilized by more than one sperm, the embryos were destined...
...Floridian shores last week told wild, hungry stories of how fellow countrymen tried to take advantage of the food shortage. They talked of condoms melted on top of pizzas and sold to the unsuspecting; of rag mops left in water to soften, then dried, cut up and served with egg on a sandwich; of apples that cost a month's wages.
