APE #35 - Addendum 

Filed 2/1/03. 

This is being written after hearing about today's tragedy. 

When we wrote our essay about Clonaid, the lead was only intended to 
contrast two personalities in the news, one with a good public standing, the 
Plattsburgh-born space shuttle astronaut, and the other with a dubious 
standing, the President of Clonaid.  At no time did we mean to minimize the 
risks faced by Lt. Col. Michael P. Anderson or to belittle the importance of 
his work. 

The essay was filed on 1/25/03 when we had no inkling of what would befall 
the crew of the Columbia space shuttle.  If we were filing the same essay 
today, that lead would not be used. 

Our sympathy goes out to the family and friends of the Columbia space 
shuttle astronauts.
