He defended the book in a statement. through his pub- lishers and remained unavail- able to reporters and scientists. Scientists doubt his claim that a 14-month-old baby was born after cloning, which in- volves the introduction of.a single cell into a female egg cell from which the nucleus has been removed, The hybrid egg is then implanted in a female uterus, where, the theory says, it develops into a human fetus -and has only the caracteristics of the cell donor. But Rorvik, in his state- ment, said: “The best-informed experts have been predicting for years that human cloning would occur at almost any time. What was needed were the resources, both human and economic and the will to succeed,” Rorvik said he recruited the medical talent required for the cloning experiment, aimed at producing an exact duplicate © of an unnamed millionaire. Rorvik said his decision to arrange the experiment came after a long period of soul: searching, * - “Ultimately, I became con- vinced that the project would eventually proceed with” or without me... 1 have regarded my role in this as that of a watchdog as much as a go between. I have consistently sought to safeguard the welfare of egg donors, surrogates and finally the child himself.” ~ Neither Rorvik's publish- ers, J. P. Lippincott, nor his agent would say where he is, They said he will hold a news conference aboitt the end of March when the book is pub- lished. : His publishers say they do not know whether the book they are publishing is true or - not because Rorvik has kept the names and placed secret from them.” - . But while Rorvik remains in seclusion, three American scientists have demanded that the U.S. government release information on whether it is conducting cloning experi- ments. ‘ News reports about Ror- vik’s book quote him as saying the experiment was conducted outside the U.S. and paid for by a New Jersey millionaire who wanted a son just like himself. As far as is known, only frogs, sea urchins and carrots shave been successfully cloned. Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 170 Fridey a Satureey -1:30 a.m. six-hour briefing about the game. Card sharks they wera not. “Most of them did every- thing wrong,” Bradley said. “They let the players see their down cards, added up the hands incorroctly and let players win on losing hands.” At all but one of Bradley's blackjack tables, the house lost money. One of them dropped $1,500. But winnings raked off the dice and baccarat tables more than absorbed the losses, to put $900 into the association kitty. It was a better night for the Legion, where about 300 people crowded into the hall, about half of them Canadians.

It's common knowledge, of course. that Harry's unhappiness lies more with his enforced nightly cohabitation with Barbara Walters than anywhere else.
