...does this underground Trailways. Last year its buses delivered low rates and lots of laughs to more than 1,000 coast-to-coast passengers. The prototype was a VW van on the Portland-to-Berkeley run ten years ago. Its success prompted a flock of imitators, which still crisscross the continent summers and during the Christmas break. "We all know we're working on borrowed time," says one of the owners, who also doubles as a bus driver. "One of these days we'll be found out, and it will be over." At Big Spring, Texas, we have...

At first, Johanson and his partner, Timothy White of the University of California at Berkeley, tentatively classified her as Australopithecus africanus, a species discovered in 1924 by South African Anthropologist Raymond Dart. The team changed its view after locating the bones of 13 creatures roughly similar to Lucy in the Afar region, and comparing them with other hominid fossils found in 1975 by the well-known...
