Kriegstein agreed. Sereno, in turn, gave the remarkable specimen Kriegstein's surname (in honor of his parents, Holocaust survivors who are still alive), and listed Kriegstein as a co-author on perhaps the most important paleontology paper of the year. "In the normal course of things," says Sereno, "this fossil could have ended up on someone's mantelpiece or been forgotten in an attic somewhere and lost to science. Now China gets its property back, and Dr. Kriegstein has found immortality for his family. Everybody wins...
...year's revenues are on track to be higher. The largest share comes from his radio show, which is heard by more than 8 million listeners on nearly 400 stations - one of the five biggest radio audiences in the country. Beck is one of only a handful of blockbuster authors who have reached No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller lists with both nonfiction and fiction.

For one: the classification of prostate-cancer stages has changed over the past 15 years. What might have been considered a Stage 3 or 4 cancer in 1990 would now be considered Stage 5, 6 or 7 - that is, a substantially more advanced cancer, says...
...which modern Americans have become disillusioned with their government, culture and society. It's easy to dismiss Meyer as a malcontent lamenting a lost time. But in the wake of an economic downturn caused by greed and selfishness, Meyer's 2008 writing looks positively prescient. TIME talked with the author about how his book, due to be re-released in paperback on Sept. 22, might have changed in light of two enormous events - the historic election and the worst recession in decades. (See how Americans are spending...
