NEWSWEEK: You came of age in Arkansas when Central High was being forcibly integrated by federal troops. What do you remember about that time? CLINTON: I was 11, and I remember it very well. I talked honestly to my folks about it and to my grandparents. We were riveted-we watched the television news every night and waited for the next day’s paper.

A big pile of grant money and a swank lab come in handy when you want to make major medical breakthroughs. But the 40 researchers at Seoul National University’s College of Veterinary Medicine have shown that grit and determination–and the absence of government interference–can be just as important. Two weeks ago, Hwang Woo Suk and Moon Shin Young, who direct the work at the cloning lab in Building 85, published a paper in the prestigious journal Science that shocked biomedical researchers and put South Korea at the center of one of the hottest and most controversial research fields: stem-cell therapy....

The Iron Curtain has been drawn back, and the environmental devastation of Eastern Europe is proving even worse than feared. Uncontrolled heavy industry has blackened entire regions. By some accounts, seven of Czechoslovakia’s eight major rivers are dead or dying. Children in sooty sties like Bitterfeld, East Germany, suffer chronic bronchial infections. Companies that specialize in waste management and pollution control smell an opportunity to clean up; estimates put an East Germany fix-up alone at about $200 billion....

Unfortunately for the 12th-ranked Aggies, the score — a 2-yard touchdown reception by Jalen Wydermyer — was for nothing more than pride in a 24-10 loss in Death Valley. Dabo Swinney’s No. 1-ranked Tigers flexed their muscles in this ACC-SEC crossover that showed just how big a difference exists between Clemson and Texas A&M. MORE: Live results, highlights, updates from Week 2 It seemed as if Texas A&M would keep up with the Tigers after taking a 3-0 lead early in the second quarter, but gash plays from the likes of Travis Etienne, Justyn Ross and Trevor Lawrence were ultimately too much for A&M to keep up with....

After Paul George suffered a gruesome lower left leg injury during a scrimmage with the USA National Basketball team, the Indiana Pacers and Marion had shown mutual interest in finalising a deal.
