Opening for the new marina at Lake Pleasant stalled by molasses of county bureaucracy. A 16-year-old girl from Arizona was taken to Nebraska by her mother and turned in to authorities under that state’s safe-haven law. In Japan, researchers say they’ve made clones from dead, frozen mice, supposedly meaning that prehistoric animals at the zoo might not be so far-fetched, after all.
