This week's eWeek column is about stem cells and Supreme Court nominee, Judge John Roberts.

I keep thinking that the image of Sen. Arlen Specter -- bald from chemotherapy, determined to cut his own path through the hearing process -- is going to move some votes on stem cells. Certainly it puts the White House in a bind. One more bind, that is.

Also, today, Mr. Brauchli and Ms. Klosky have weighed in on the White House, science and the Supreme Court. Enjoy their work. It's very good and, working independently in their own ways, they have complemented each other nicely this week.
