...creation of a cult religion. Presley had to suffer in the only way a celebrity can, through self-humiliation. This soldered the bond between a onetime poor boy from Tupelo, Miss., and his blue-collar, blue-haired or red-white-and-blue fans. He was both beyond and beneath - above them and one of them. And if Elvis didn't die, how could he come back to life, in the Resurrection of the one true King...
...search for evidence that these areas have supported extremophiles, micro-organisms living deep underground or in extremes of heat, pressure or toxicity, that represent a kind of rock-bottom definition of a living form. Many examples of these have been studied on Earth, including recent samples found 4 km beneath the surface, in a South African mine. One suggestion of Martian life emerged in 1996, when a meteorite from Mars that landed in the Antarctic region was found to contain what seemed to be fossilized microbial life. But the results are inconclusive; Pillinger and others argue that the fossils could...
...source of this economic boom can be found buried beneath the nearby ocean floor, where foreign oil companies have found at least 500 million bbl. of high-grade crude oil. Production has jumped from just 17,000 bbl. a day in 1996 to more than 220,000 bbl. a day, and could grow an additional 50% within three years. The oil boom has fueled fantastic economic growth--65% last year, down to an estimated 25% this year--and pushed annual per capita income from $800 seven years ago to more than $2,000 today.

...White House. He must have laughed at the C-Span junkies yelling something indecipherable about Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) express train heading back to Arizona. Yet as amusing as this good old American election drama is, there is something sinister and insidious lurking beneath Uncle Sam’s contented conservative front. It is the same unsettling force belying the pleasant satisfaction of America’s ever sprawling suburbs. The commitment to justice for the dispossessed—outside of G.O.P. focus groups awe-struck by George—is as absent as black faces...
...wilds is a rare and miraculous event; the population has dwindled to a few thousand birds. Forced from the dwindling groves of spruce and hemlock trees, the owls have retreated slowly westward over the last few decades. Now, just miles from the Pacific, in the low river valleys beneath the Olympic mountains, the spotted owl is living out its numbered days...
