...gifts has become another eagerly anticipated feature, like your annual Person of the Year. Thanks for keeping Time a leader. Jim Tracy Denver, Colorado, U.S. I was a bit unnerved by your referring to Snuppy as an invention. The cloning technique is remarkable, without a doubt, but it is wrong to classify a cloned creature as an invention. Doing so somehow implies that a clone is different and inferior to other living creatures merely because the method of creation was changed. A clone is just another member of its species.

As for 12-year-old Frank (Owen Kline), puberty has landed on him like a house after a tornado, and he?s obsessed with spilling his seed in all the wrong places.
