Clinton may be given more wiggle room on the politically popular program next week when the nation's intelligence agencies meet to reassess North Korea's capability, as well as the expected fallout...
Somewhat unconvincingly, Venter now denies he was ever racing the HGP. "To me it's really a race to impact people's lives," he says. Collins, who has been pooh-poohing the idea of a race, insists in an almost perfectly crafted sound bite that "the only race involved here is the human race...
