...entirely. "As remarkable as amber is," says David Grimaldi, a colleague of Wheeler's. "the DNA it contains is fragmented, which makes it astounding that viable spores could still be completely intact." And that is one reason why many scientists remain dubious about Cano's claims. Another ground for caution is the history of laboratory contamination that has haunted researchers working on ancient DNA. Though Cano took every precaution, laboratory samples can pick up extraneous material as easily as a jacket collects lint. Last year a team of British researchers disclosed that the DNA they thought had come from...
...routes out of the affected area. The World Health Organization maintains that the nature of Ebola does not require such drastic measures, since the virus kills within a few days, preventing carriers from spreading it very widely. TIME science writer Lawrence Mondi says WHO is showing appropriate caution, noting that the number of deaths caused by the virus may be smaller than originally thought. "There was an ongoing incidence of shigellosis, a disease which initially produces symptoms similar to Ebola, so some of the deaths may be attributable to that...

So be careful...
...broadcast badminton to the Chinese. Late in 1993 he outbid CBS for the National Football League's National Football Conference games-a package that also lets Fox broadcast the Super Bowl in January 1997.

He knew CBS had the right to top Fox's final bid but believed cbs chairman Laurence Tisch would bring his legendary tightfistedness to the table. "We knew...
...problem with this kind of filmmaking has always been caution. And that's what is wrong with Jefferson in Paris. It's as if everyone was just a little too much in tasteful awe of its subject, who is played rather stolidly by Nick Nolte. They are afraid to grant him his full vitality or give full dramatic life to the issues, public and personal, that stirred him during the five years (1784-89) when, recently widowed, he served as the new American republic's ambassador to France...
