The hospital has been deluged with calls offering sympathy and support, as well as some from other parents of severely handicapped children urging that the Kelsos not be judged too harshly. Steven is medically stable, says hospital spokeswoman Terri Greenley, "but we'll keep him here to make sure he gets whatever he needs, whether it's medical care or a smile...
...Israeli army special units. The night of the fire, however, Safra's entire security force were posted at his nearby villa; Safra was said to have wanted it that way, but it seemed a glaring lapse to leave him without a single guard. According to a Republic National bank spokeswoman, security chief Shmuel Cohen rushed to the apartment after the blaze started, but police initially blocked his access because he lacked the proper keys and I.D. to convince them who he was.

The radar indicates, however, that Flight 990 nosedived in a straight line in its original descent. And if the pilots faced such a problem, they should have had time to send out a distress signal...
...spokeswoman responded that anyone could call the technology whatever they wanted, but Organic Enhancement was the term St. Genevieve had chosen to use. "This is entirely appropriate," she said with a straight face, "since the DNA molecules added to embryos are totally organic." She noted also that the treatment was "all-natural," since the added genes were produced naturally by cultured cells and were indistinguishable from those found in other members of the human population...
