from SLATE's summary of today's news from major US papers: >An article in the [Wall Street JOURNAL] says that Fidel Castro is pushing his scientists to clone milking-cows, with the goal being to replicate a famously productive, and now deceased, Cuban bovine beast. Castro turned to that plan after his previous scheme to provide endless milk proved a touch unrealistic. The idea, according to the paper, was "to provide families with miniature milk-cows that they could keep in their apartments. The pint-sized beasts would graze on grass grown in drawers under fluorescent lights."<
I'm sorry, but it sounds as if Fidel -- or one of his advisors -- has partaken of some grass grown in drawers under fluorescent lights. The intent is good, but Lysenko's ghost is hovering near-by. Jim Devine [EMAIL PROTECTED] & http://bellarmine.lmu.edu/~jdevine
