"The Senate's stem-cell debate forces a moment of truth upon Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.): Is he, at bottom, a doctor and scientist dedicated to saving lives, or just an ambitious politician out to advance his career? At the moment, the evidence suggests the latter — that he's working to peel votes away from legislation that would hasten stem-cell research, and in the process give himself and his party political cover." -- Morton Kondracki in Roll Call.
