While other experts have alternatively argued for the intrauterine loop, sterilization or the pill, Chandrasekhar recognizes that none alone can provide the answer; popular fears of the loop and surgery bear him out. Instead, he vigorously favors a "cafeteria approach," giving Indians the widest choice of birth control techniques. "We'll try everything from the Y.M.C.A. method (coldwater baths) to the pill," he says. But in his campaign to cut India's birth rate from...
Swedish Explorer Johan Gunnar Andersson discovered several of its fossilized branches on Norway's Bear Island in 1899. Remnants of its fanlike leaves have since been found in Alaska. But it remained for Bonn University Paleobotanist Hans-Joachim Schweitzer to determine that an ancient plant called Pseudobornia ursina was actually a tree that grew as high as 65 ft.-50 million years earlier than other trees of comparable height are known to have appeared.

A craftsman's implement bears the doughty motto: "I am Jacques' chisel. Let me lie. I'll work for him until...
Christian believes that the President suffered from overexposure during the Moyers days, and he points to various segments of Gallup polls that bear him out. Despite his familiarity with presidential thoughts and doings, Christian utters not one syllable more than the President wants him to.
