Matt Herper, Forbes Magazine

Shows a couple of very strange images . . . a cyclops sheep (with one eye) and some glowing mice. They're from stories he wrote about stem cell research . . . which used to be what people would ask for.

2 years ago when we would send a story to our editors about stem cells, it would come back and the comment would be "where's the politics?"

Now we're writing about the science and the business . . . the stories are more about the same kinds of hurdles we face with other technologies that haven't yet delivered. It's going to be harder to write about without the politics, and harder to get the stories out.
