...cells, the very earliest stages of the nine-month process that turns a fertilized egg into a full-term baby. They were frozen only a few days at most after conception; they would not even merit the designation fetus until after three months in the womb. "You can't regard these as little people," says Robert Forman, clinical director of the London Gynecology and Fertility Center. "They are living cells. They are not humans...
...demand--he has made 10 appearances in the past year--he harbors no illusions about making conducting a second career. He donates his fees to charity and turns down invitations to lead other Mahler works, most recently a Das Lied von der Erde in Vienna. "I don't regard myself as a conductor," he says.

He also guesses that his late father Buddy...
...hard to see why cops in a police state find Pramoedya an embarrassment and a danger. A final irony in this rich lode is that for several years Pramoedya has suffered from writer's block in regard to his fiction. Presently he is working on an Indonesian encyclopedia. "Indonesia is still an abstract concept for me," he says wryly. An encyclopedia, he thinks, might help make this diffuse country of 17,000 islands and 365 languages and dialects a more graspable reality. For his readers, the Buru Quartet has already done that...
