Dartmouth pulled Ferguson in favor of the extra-attacker, and assaulted the Crimson net in a last effort to tie the game...
Would a tax cut help? The local businessmen say yes--extra cash would inspire folks to start buying again. But the views of their employees are more complex. Fresh off the 11 p.m.-to-7 a.m. shift at Mead, Joey Depew, 25, devours a ham-and-cheese omelet at a local luncheonette.

That may explain why Dolly's cells show signs of being older than they actually are--scientists joked that she was really a sheep in lamb's clothing. This deviation...

Now British researchers have experimented with drug-free IVF, using just the single ovum a woman naturally produces each month. After an average of four tries, a woman's chances of having a baby were about 35%--only slightly lower than her odds in many IVF programs...
