Hi All :)
    Honest, no disrespect intended, I need edumacation question :)  And I
put an OT on it for Donna and others :)

    Background of Question:
    When I took Journalism class back in '78 ... I was taught that any
piece written under a byline (nom de plum (sp) or otherwise) could contain
opinion and/or outright fiction... but you couldn't attribute opinion
and/or fiction as a quote by someone or as fact.
    I was further taught that if there wasn't a byline then the piece must
contain the 5 W's of the story in the first 1-3 inches of text.

    I notice that all stories I read in all papers seem to have bylines...

    Actual Question:
     Are the rules of Journalism I was taught no longer followed or are
bylines always printed now so we know who wrote the piece?

 No attempt to pick on any paper/magazine or otherwise... I just know that
when the "Better Half" and I read the Oregonian (local fish wrapper) we
have to read the entire article to get 2 or 3 out of the 5 W's and they are
notorious for not getting thos details in there...

 Side note: I did see that in the current issue of InfoWorld that the
Editor in Chief has had several (4 I think) articles changed because some
of the quotes in the stories couldn't be confirmed and the author would not
supply the information to Infoworld on who said what.  The Editor in Chief
pointed out that InfoWorld took action as soon as the situation was
noticed... Which  Ithink is good...

 InfoWorld is a leading trade mag... and how they handle it will be
interesting to watch...

Change of Subject:
Again an honest question... can only human "stem" cells be used in the
research being done?  I know we have seen other mammal's organs used for
medical procedures with humans... is this possible with "stem" cells?  I am
guessing not... but maybe?
