...opportunity to have feelings for. If Chinese papers were allowed, for example, to report on Chen Guangcheng, a blind peasant activist who's been repeatedly beaten and is now in jail for standing up for the victims of illegal forced abortions and who's due to go on trial on trumped-up charges of destroying public property this month, I'm sure his case would generate public outcry too. Right now, that's not possible in China. But maybe in a country where it's okay to protest the inhumane treatment of animals, someday it'll also be acceptable...
...allegedly making up their minds," Biden told TIME last week." I've been around too long to be coy. My objective is to run." He'll spend 15 days in August in Iowa, going to the state fair (he prefers funnel cakes to fried Twinkies), speaking to the trial lawyers association there and campaigning for gubernatorial candidate Chet Culver and other Democrats on the ticket. And when he's not in Iowa, he'll still be running for President. Biden's schedule in August includes attending fundraisers around the country and a trip to South Carolina, another key early primary...

At trial, the judge disagreed, declaring the institute "firmly under the management and control of the state." That decision is now on appeal...
...long-term promise is boundless, but the immediate barriers are high. The only people who claim to have succeeded in creating human-stem-cell lines through nuclear transfer were the South Korean researchers who turned out to be frauds. It will take much trial and error to master the process, but where do you get the human eggs needed for each attempt, particularly since researchers find it ethically inappropriate to reimburse donors for anything but expenses? And even if the technique for cloning embryos could be perfected, would Congress allow...
FOUND NOT GUILTY. Andrea Yates, 42, Texas mother, in the 2001 bathtub drownings of her five children; by reason of insanity; in her second trial, after an appeals court last year threw out her 2002 murder conviction because of erroneous testimony; in Houston. Prosecutors argued Yates failed to meet the definition of insanity because she was fully aware that her actions were wrong. But Yates' lawyers claimed severe postpartum psychosis made her so delusional that she thought the drownings were right. After 12 hours of deliberation, the jury sided with the defense. Following the verdict, Yates was committed...
