...seemed little room for maneuver, even with a projected budget of $186 billion and a possible deficit of $25 billion (on top of a $24.6 billion deficit projected for this year). Massive cuts, liberals believed, would gut too many socially oriented programs that have already been pared to the bone...
During a geological survey in the Palouse River canyon in 1965, Washington State University Geologist Roald Fryxell and Archaeologist Richard Daugherty explained, a bulldozer they were using scraped bare some bone fragments. Forgetting their survey, they began digging carefully at the site and uncovered other bones, some animal and some that were finally identified in 1967 as human skull fragments. Still picking away in a 10-ft.-deep shaft last month, the scientists found two additional major skull fragments, finger and wrist bones, rib fragments, an eye socket and what is probably a leg bone, enabling them to confirm that...
Time Is Running Out. To determine the age of the fossilized "Marmes man" (named after the rancher who owns the site), the W.S.U. scientists radiocarbon-dated mollusk shells lying in a stratum above the bone remnants and decided that they were nearly 11,000 years old. Thus, they reasoned, the bones lying in the stratum below must be between 11,000 and 13,000 years old. This gives Marmes man paleontologic seniority over such previously discovered Western Hemisphere relics as "Minnesota Minnie," the Midland (Texas) man and the Tepexpan (Mexico) man, all estimated to be some 10,000 years...
There was also evidence that the early Washingtonian had suffered a grisly fate. Both human and animal bones found at the site were blackened-probably by fire-and some were split as if someone had tried to get at the bone marrow. "I think that it's entirely possible that the Marmes man was consumed by his buddies," says Geologist Fryxell. "In other words, they had him for dinner." From the fragmented condition of the skull, it was plain that Marmes man had also suffered from Excedrin Headache...
...batting with a .533 average and a slugging percentage of .933-28 total bases in 30 times at bat. First Baseman Harmon Killebrew's batting average is .392-he also has four home runs and nine RBIs Rightfielder Tony Oliva, obviously recovered from an off-season operation for bone chips in his right knee, can be expected to hit .300 for the season and the No. 7 man in the batting order, Centerfielder Ted Uhlaender is currently batting .333. Pitching? Fireballer Dean Chance has won two games as has Jim Merritt. Jim Perry and Dave Boswell both have complete...
