He just made a joke about Dolly the Sheep. C It was an early September day, cool and bright and just right for running, and I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race over a course with a few high hills. Still, I felt energetic; despite the hills it was going to be a fine run. Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kiseo, New York. She was also running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where I was; Why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one? I’d overtake her later on when she was tired. So I ran behind her. The course headed north for miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work. Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to know him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You don’t chat during a race unless you are feeling good, and Peggy simply was. Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she was tired, so I didn’t give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long, punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost determine who crossed it first. As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was moving away -first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no hope of catching her. She beat me soundly. There is an important lesson in that race. Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sports. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than differeces. I have run with a number of women, and I can say it is often hard work.

　　When researchers made their first clone of an animal, Dolly, the sheep, in 1997, one doctor said, “The genie is out of the bottle. ”But then he tried to actually create the “genie” by making a human clone.

　　Dr. Panayiotis Zavos told the public on October 5 that he could create the first cloned human before the end of the year. He is an expert on human copying and raising from the University of Kentucky in the United States.

　　His workers have been stopped from carrying out research in most European Union countries, but Zavos said that fact was not slowing progress.

　　“It is going well enough, so we may try the first production of cloned embryos in the very near future. That is, three or four months from now,” Cypriot-born Zavos said. He moved to the United States over 30 years ago.

　　Human cloning could, in effect, create a copy of another living or dead person.

　　But Zavos insisted there was nothing harmful in the project. As an expert on human reproduction, he said he is only interested in helping couples who cannot naturally have babies to have a child. “We are not interested in cloning people like Bin Laden, Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan, ”the doctor added.

　　“We are only interested in helping a father who does not have the ability to have a biological child of his own. ”

　　Zavos said thousands of childless people from all over the world are helping in their research. He would not say where the research is under way. but indicated that it was in more than one country.
