...best inventions of the year [Nov. 23]? I would suggest that those considering cloning adopt one of the millions of shelter animals, then donate the difference to have other animals spayed and neutered. This would help prevent the tragedy of so many unwanted animals in this world - which would be a truly great invention. Noreen Smith Neenah...

Most fathers would agree that losing the past five years after that - the first little-league games, reading lessons, trips to Disney World - would have been wrenching. It would have been as if Juan Miguel González had lost Elián for seven years instead of seven months...
