 Solution possible in stem cell impasse
The politician and academic Steve Stice say the eggs — discarded by fertility clinics as incapable of surviving in the womb — are a ready source for the do-anything, be-everything stem cells thought to hold the key to curing many diseases.
Because the stem cells would be extracted from fertilized eggs that have no chance of becoming a baby, Isakson said the approach should overcome the objections President Bush spelled out in July — on behalf of many religious conservatives — when he vetoed a bill that would have allowed federal funding for research.
But he also worries that U.S. researchers are losing their edge in a lucrative and dynamic field that is moving overseas or into private laboratories.

 April 2005 Notebook
Europe and Asia learned important lessons from the two World Wars of 1914-45, but while U.S. soldiers paid a high price in those wars, their domestic effect was to invigorate the economy and to bolster an arrogant and ignorant culture of triumphalism.
But there are deeper channels that concern us: the idea the pursuit of self-interest is always best; the idea that the world imposes no finite limits on the economy; the idea that the world can always be made to conform to our wishes; the idea that our ends justify whatever means.
Unless, that is, the central story of the ruthlessly corrupt politician (Powers Boothe) and his saintly cannibal son (Elijah Wood and/or Nick Stahl) is meant as an analogue to the Bush clan, in which case they've managed to paint an even viler image than I could imagine.
