...Thou shalt not take a poke at another practitioner. Last week, however, one of the nation's biggest dailies, the Los Angeles Times (circ. 1,005,000), threw a haymaker at a smaller paper in nearby Long Beach, the Independent, Press-Telegram. In a rambling 20,000-word account spread over seven pages, the Times accused the Long Beach paper of, among other things...
Most cosmologists−scientists who study the structure and evolution of the universe−agree that the biblical account of creation, in imagining an initial void, may be uncannily close to the truth. The universe, they believe, is the expanding remnant of a huge fireball that was created 20 billion years ago by the explosion of a giant primordial atom. The debris of the fireball, like the fragments of a titanic bomb, is still speeding outward from this cataclysmic blast, which started the process that produces not only stars and planets but also the complex structures of life. This startling...

Studies of early calendars and historical records of the events immediately preceding and following the nativity suggest to many scholars that Jesus was probably born some time during the fall of the year 7 B.C. That year the heavens offered a display that few who studied the stars would have failed to notice-three times in 7 B.C. there was a conjunction of the same two planets...

In a sense, Hersh's account reinforced the original CIA thesis: only the sub's forward third was recovered...
Instead, it has something like $11,000 to spend this year, with no constraints and virtually no one to account to. As stated in its constitution, RUS' purpose is to "represent, support and encourage the interest of undergraduate women." "Our greatest use is in doing things for women," says Norris; but RUS is having a hard time figuring out what women want, what to encourage...
