...student and a male professor. She wants a better grade and perhaps something else, maybe power over her life. He wants tenure and a new house and also perhaps something else, maybe a captive audience to listen to his musings on education. Their sexes, interests and relative positions all establish the sort of inherent conflict that a dynamic play requires—and yet no conflict comes across in the production of Anthony Gabriele...
...difficulty of navigating ethical shoals as an excuse to ban the procedure. The potential medical benefits of stem cells created through “therapeutic cloning” are significant, and the procedure—which takes place in a petri dish—is ethically acceptable. Congress should establish procedures for the oversight and regulation of such research where necessary. It should not place a ban on promising scientific research out of a vague feeling of discomfort...
Every company wants its brands to be popular abroad. But while many are working to establish a presence beyond their home market, only an elite handful have attained a truly global presence. So says a recent report by market research company ACNielson.

Among them are Fanta soda (Coca-Cola Co.) and Whiskas cat food (Mars), which are popular in Europe, the Middle...

But American military planners remained leery of sending ground troops into the caves to root out the enemy in person. They would prefer...
...Mark Thompson: Their first mission will be to take care of themselves. Whether they go in with 800 or 1500 troops, their first goal will be to establish perimeter security. I went into Kosovo with the Marines and it was interesting to see how they use their vehicles to form an outer perimeter within which they would live. Here they'll be living in some existing infrastructure at the airfield where they're landing rather than living out of their trucks. It's good that they're at an airfield, because that means high visibility over a greater distance...
