...album goes, mixing Frank Zappa into a black sheep cover of Frederick Knight's northern soul lament, "Lonely," taking a cool, excited, but never tense reigns over the popular arrangements and sound bites of Western culture. On "Marbles," Kermit's soft spoken rap pulls a danceable pulse out of the rambling cowboy melody that eventually surrenders to a rousing disco-esque horn section. Only the fifth track, "Rubber Band," goes too far. Where the rest of Stupid, Stupid, Stupid makes a cheerfully boisterous rewiring of the listener's head, "Rubber Band" pummels it with a crow...
...Sheep Named Dolly
Extraordinary claims, scientists like to say, require extraordinary proof, and none has been more extraordinary in recent years than Scottish embryologist Ian Wilmut's claim that he and his colleagues had cloned a sheep named Dolly from a mammary cell of a pregnant ewe. More than a year later, nobody has managed to reproduce the Dolly experiment, and Wilmut is under growing pressure to prove that his famous sheep is what he says she is. Last week at a genetics meeting at the University of Louisville, in Kentucky, he blandly conceded that there was a "remote possibility" that there could...
Cloning individual human cells, however, is another matter. Biologists are already talking about harnessing for medical purposes the technique that produced the sheep called Dolly. They might, for example, obtain healthy cells from a patient with leukemia or a burn victim and then transfer the nucleus of each cell into an unfertilized egg from which the nucleus has been removed. Coddled in culture dishes, these embryonic clones--each genetically identical to the patient from which the nuclei came--would begin to divide...
